He hasn't an enemy in the world, and none of his friend like him.
I couldn't be a cameraman or a designer or an actor - I have to be a director because I learned how to do that from my dad.
My first cut that I showed the studio was probably 2hrs 20min.
3D doesn't work quite so well with quick cuts and I probably would have done some longer takes had I really taken that information onboard.
I was known for a while for doing very long takes, especially after Atonement.
I was really excited to try 3D and play with it really, again, experiment formally with that extra dimension.
One of the things I really love about 3D is that because as we grow older on eye weakens more than the other, 3D becomes more difficult for adults to watch than it is for children who have very balanced eyes often.
By circumstance and perhaps also by inclination, I think in complete intellectual isolation. To expect others to help me think seems to me almost like expecting them to help me digest my food.
It's your ability to learn quickly and contribute quickly that matters. One of the things I tell people these days is that there is no perfect fit when you're looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.

When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.
