In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.

While it's easy to sit back and cherry pick bad visual effects and blame the industry for making movies the way they are, you're really not seeing the whole picture.

Other filmmakers make their movies and put them out and that's that. For me, for some odd reason, it goes deeper than that.

I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin, so you try to make the films really tactile.

When you're making a movie, it's a very interiorised world.

I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.

The issue often with films is how it works with money and trying to get a visible movie star presence in the film.

You know, usually with movies there are periods, dark areas, where I might not be getting what I wanted out of a theme. I'll have to go over and over it again.

You have full-field view when you're watching the film. Eye in the sky, it's a lot easier to look at it that way than when you're back behind center.

A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.
