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

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

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.

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

I think Pan is a superhero movie; I mean, the kid flies in the end.

My first cut that I showed the studio was probably 2hrs 20min.

I think people are at their most creative when they're relaxed. I don't believe that tension is good for creativity. Everyone is relaxed and therefore can feel able to express their own individual creativity and lots of ideas come in. It's a joy like that.
