For the last 10 years, I've felt increasing pressure to stop shooting film and start shooting video, but I've never understood why. It's cheaper to work on film, it's far better looking, it's the technology that's been known and understood for a hundred years, and it's extremely reliable. ↗

I don't particularly enjoy watching films in 3D because I think that a well-shot and well-projected film has a very three-dimensional quality to it, so I'm somewhat sceptical of the technology. ↗

I have always been a huge fan of Ridley Scott and certainly when I was a kid. 'Alien,' 'Blade Runner' just blew me away because they created these extraordinary worlds that were just completely immersive. I was also an enormous Stanley Kubrick fan for similar reasons. ↗

I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am. ↗

I sometimes think how strange it is that I've got to do exactly what I want, and that is difficult to cope with. You have to remind yourself every few weeks: I'm making this film and this is exactly what I want to do. And suddenly you're happy again. ↗

I think there are advantages to different scales of filmmaking. You wouldn't want to do just one thing. ↗

I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it. ↗

I try not to have actors in mind when I write because the tendency then is to be influenced by either their last performance or your favourite of their performances. ↗
