The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words.

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.

Kevin and Annette... I wanted them to do it together. They clearly wanted to work with each other.

This is the first time in 10 years I don't know what I'm doing next and I'm rather enjoying it. Soon I'll be climbing the walls no doubt, but right now, it's not clear, I'm just enjoying the freedom.

I've directed bits of action and so I know that it's long and it's very detailed. Editing action is a good deal more exciting than shooting action. Shooting action is very, very meticulous, it's increments, tiny little pieces.

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

Now Im back home, living in London, running my theater. I just want to enjoy all that.
