I think that's the job of a director really, to sort of funnel all the creativity into one centralized point of being.

I don't like putting glasses on and watching 3D. I don't mind wearing glasses, but it's the dimness of the light and the fact that you're filtering the light. Whatever 3D process is being used is a filtration of light, which means it's blocking some of the light.

To me, fantasy should be as real as possible. I don't buy into the notion that because it's fantastic, it should be unrealistic, because I think you have to have a sense of believing the world that you're going into.

I didn't want my kids having to pass through an airport named after their father.

It's all about his determination. You never, ever, give up once you start something, once you're on the trail of something you don't stop and that's what you have to go through when you're making a movie too. Once the train's rolling, you have to stick with it.

Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.

The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.
