I want to make sure people know I don't think I have any magic powers. I just have a story that I share.

Once I'm on set, the only thing I'm really interested in is being in the room. Being present. And trusting that what I've done is sufficient, and I'm also trusting that I've also left room for magic.

Magic is, in its core, introverted and closed; it's the most closed community ever, and I want to change all that and make it more open. If we want things to change, we have to be more open-minded.

For me, a great fantasy is real people, a world I recognise, human struggle and magic. You've got to have magic to make a fantasy work. But I like my magic to be subtle. I don't want magic coming out of the hands of wizards. I want it to be pervading, sinister somehow.

I don't like magic - but I have been known to make guys disappear.

I don't want to be 'the magician'; I want to be an innocent bystander along with the magical moment.

I still want magic, I find. The old fashioned kind. I don't believe in it, but I still have a hankering for it.

I really don't believe in magic.

I don't like magic.

I have always been interested in pushing magic forward.
