What I learned very quickly is that if you get it right in the first two or three takes, it's not going to get that much better.

Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.

People just want to watch movies that are entertaining, it doesn't matter what genre it is.

I learned very quickly that the hard thing in life is to make good films. Technically, filmmaking is the camera and the actor telling the story and that's what I'm more interested in doing.

I had a philosophy, which may have been proven right, that directing isn't as hard as everyone says it is.

People want fun and escapism at the moment. Look at the success of Guardians of the Galaxy. I think Nolan kick-started a very dark, bleak style of superhero escapism, and I think people have had enough of it.

I'm a Star Wars fanatic.
