I went to America with a very specific idea of what I wanted to do.

Once you know the world you know how your character fits into it.

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 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.

Our story is a 'once upon a time', but it's not a 'happy ever after'.

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?

I think Kristen is incredibly brave. She played such a good version Bella Swan, people think Kristen Stewart is Bella Swan. She's not, you know? If you meet Kristen, she's wildly kind of giggly and vivacious and rebellious and naughty - all things that Bella Swan isn't.
