The animal has no intellectual capacity to justify or to find reasons to exist. An animal just exists because it's the natural thing to do.

My head's not in the clouds, but I think I've gotten too much credit for being an astute businessman.

I always think if it's a good story, the audience can't wait to run out of the theater and go tweet somebody with the gist of a story, in a nutshell, almost, because it was that interesting.

I have to stay interested. I can't do the same thing over and over again, which is why I don't do - I've made sequels, but it's the movies that are not sequels that I enjoy the most.

Every movie you're going to forget that it's 3D whether it's widescreen or whatever it is, you're going to forget everything if the movie is working. If the movie doesn't work or if the movie generically doesn't work then immediately you start to pick apart whatever has contributed to that.

The world would be a poorer place without Doctor Who.

So I try to re-invent my own eye every time I tackle a new subject. But it's hard, because everybody has style. You can't help it.
