I thought that subtitles are boring because they're there generally to serve us with information to make you understand what people are saying in a different language.

The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through.

I always get everyone prepared so there aren't so many arguments on set. I have a policy that the first thing I do in the morning is go over to the trailers and discuss exactly what we're shooting that day. It's time-consuming but it reduces the chances of 'misunderstandings' on set.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because were from North England.

Making a movie is like a marathon, and commercials are like sprints - they're equally satisfying, but in different ways.
