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.

Modern, not bottom-dwelling literature like a carp.

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.

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

I was known for a while for doing very long takes, especially after Atonement.

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.
