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.

All those horrible, traumatic years I spent as a kid became what I draw from creatively today.

There's going to be no more digital enhancements or digital additions to anything based on any film I direct. I'm not going to do any corrections digitally to even wires that show... If 1941 comes on Blu-ray I'm not going to go back and take the wires out because the Blu-ray will bring the wires out that are guiding the airplane down Hollywood Blvd. At this point right now I think letting movies exist in the era, with all the flaws and all of the flourishes, is a wonderful way to mark time and mark history.

The world would be a poorer place without Doctor Who.

It all starts with the script: it's not worth taking myself away from my family if I don't have something I'm really passionate about.

Twenty years from now, there will still be a square screen, maybe even larger, and people will be sitting in a large, dark space, and they won't know each other unless they bring friends along.

I'm not really interested in making money. That's always come as the result of success, but it's not been my goal.
