I think my dyslexia was a vital part of my development because my inability to read and write meant that I had to find knowledge elsewhere so I looked to the cinema.

So much of today's film culture, in England and America, is based on lies, really. The industry is very ambitious, and success has become such an opium, people start from the wrong place they forget sometimes that the core of what we do is storytelling. It serves a need, a purpose for the individual and society to pull us together in shared experience and help us realize we're not alone in that experience.

I think maybe I might tackle something that doesn't reach down to a very, very young audience, like more of a kind of teenager and upwards.

Generally, I've never known quite how to fit in in civilian life, but on set, making a film, I know exactly where to go, how to behave and how I fit.

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.

I was never a kind of superhero fan much growing up, I'm not a kind of comic book kid.

I was really excited to try 3D and play with it really, again, experiment formally with that extra dimension.
