Even before 'Moon,' I did a short film called 'Whistle,' and it had a lot of the things that I thought I would need to be able to do on a feature film: I shot on location, there was special FX work, there was stunt work, we used squibs, I shot on 35 mm film.

From Duncan Jones

I've been very strategic in how I've approached the jobs I want to do.

From Duncan Jones

Film directing is really undermined if you attempt to do it by committee because there has to be a single vision as to how to tell a story. It's like if you were at a campfire, and everyone is taking turns to give one sentence in telling a horror story. It would be a mess - it's not going to make sense.

From Duncan Jones

I think if you're young and you're being compared with a successful family member, it's really hard to maintain any sense of self-worth and credibility.

From Duncan Jones

Girls seem to get me in trouble a lot of times.

From Duncan Jones

Eventually, I'm going to be judged purely on my own merits.

From Duncan Jones

From Duncan Jones

I've lived all over Europe, spent a lot of time in London, went to school in Scotland, college in America, so I do think I have sort of a sensibility on a fairly global level.
