One of the things that makes Hamlet unique among Shakespeare's characters is his courage to face up to the darker elements of his personality.

I don't think Hamlet is mad, nor is he predisposed to be a gloomy or tragic figure.

After Frankenstein, I feel as if I want to make a film about somebody having a nice cup of tea.

Somehow I know there was something so right about my doing Frankenstein and taking so long over it that I've probably been laying some ghost inside myself. It was a very necessary job for me to do, but it'll take some time to recover from it.

For all the cynicism that the world contains, people are a little more open to those things that maybe are to do with returning you to some kind of simpler, happier state.

As soon as someone I don’t respect tells me I can’t do something, it just makes me want to do it even more.

I think the truth is the Marvel fiefdom exists very independently inside the Disney world, inside the Disney universe. They're not resistant to that kind of thing but they have their, you know there is a whole sort of machine energy and momentum that is the sort of creative drive behind the whole universe that has a big impact on the individual films. I'm glad those scenes got out there. And we've got a few interesting deleted scenes on this.
