It took me a long time to film the plastic bag, and then I had to get the cut of the scene right. But if you find it as beautiful as the character does, then suddenly it becomes a different movie, and so did he as a character.

Shooting action is very, very meticulous, it's increments, tiny little pieces.

I don't think good and evil are polarized.

One of the reasons I loved working with Tom is people feel they know who he is... I think working with an actor who the audience already has a relationship with actually helps you in a film like this.

I've made movies that cost less than one car chase. But that's part of the pleasure of doing it, pushing yourself in new directions.

You just never know when movies are going to take off or not. The lucky thing about this was that it didn't cost a lot of money, and therefore there wasn't loads of pressure on me.

As a first-time director in America, I feel I've been very fortunate.
