3D doesn't work quite so well with quick cuts and I probably would have done some longer takes had I really taken that information onboard.

I've been lucky over the past few years. Things have just happened for me.

Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.

I wouldn't presume to know something, but I have lots to learn and that's what I attempt to do through my work.

Fairy tales to me are never happy, sweet stories. They're moral stories about overcoming the dark side and the bad.

I don't ever want to go backwards, I quite like it. I like the freedom and I like the - What I set out to do was to make a big action-adventure movie that ticks all the boxes in terms of audience expectations and spectacle, and yet also make a very personal film and it feels like I've gotten away with that, I've managed that.

I couldn't be a cameraman or a designer or an actor - I have to be a director because I learned how to do that from my dad.
