I think whenever you cast someone, someone's going to be critical about it.

In a way I think why the Ghost story is very relatable to a large audience is that it's kind of a coming of age story and it's a realisation of 'I am what I am - what has happened to me, good or bad, that is the sum of who I am now'.

I think it's possible to make a blockbuster that is actually emotional. They don't need to be mutually exclusive.

I read every screenplay that was being sent to the other directors. None were being sent to me, but I was reading what others were choosing and what the best writers were writing.

I don't love balls and sleeping beauties, that kind of thing. I think the great thing about 'Snow White' is those images have scarred me since I was a child with the Queen, the mirror, the taking of the heart, the huntsman and the enchanted forest.

I think that 'Halo' is a hard property because they don't need to make a film. They make far more money out of the games so why risk?

Trying to ground everything in reality was the most important thing to me.
