I like throwing snowballs at small children.

I deliberately, in a way, went for something that was a huge challenge and was a big period film. I was excited about the canvas on which I could tell the story as much as the story itself.

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

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

You think about taking audiences on a journey.

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

All I know is that I operate by going out to each of them and trying to learn the territory in which they operate. My language to each of them has to suit their brain.
