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

You've got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie's good enough, it's going to survive; and if it's not, well, it won't.

I've made movies that cost less than one car chase.

You think about taking audiences on a journey.

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

I wanted to keep exploring... I'm not about to choose a series of movies in which I can use the same bag of tricks and style that I used in the first film.

I feel like the American years were my apprenticeship for doing a Bond movie.
