I think people, unfortunately, do live in constant fear.

When talking with a set designer the dialogue is more centered on locations, interior design, what I like and what doesn't work. There is a certain taste I'm drawn to and feel inspired by, and finding that inspiration is what keeps the conversation moving forward.

I always wanted to do an action movie, not particularly Bond.

For me, The Kite Runner became about a guy who’s emotionally shut down because he hasn’t confronted his past.

All movements begin and end, and all have been inspired by others that have come before them. They evolve and then deconstruct again. There are very few designers whose aesthetic I'm drawn to on a personal level. However, that's different from the ways in which I might dress the characters in my films.

One of the main reasons I wanted to work on 'World War Z' was because I'm a huge fan of the book, and I love the idea of taking a non-linear story and creating a three-act structure out of it.

The key thing is that you start every film from sort of a blank page, almost like you discover it like a child discovers a new world.
