There's good art and there's bad art. A lot of action films are bad art, but Paul Greengrass showed us with the Bourne films that it's possible to make an action film with a political, social conscience.

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 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 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'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.

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