I mean, movies in general tend to sort of portray time, space and identity as these very solid things. Time moves forward. Space is what it is. You are you, and you're always you.

Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.

Movies are movies: they take you back in time, and how it still is for some.

I've done a lot of films that have become iconic, not necessarily because of me.

I love films where the world seems to be going a bit faster and everything's a bit brighter and more in focus.

I think that those are the things that you can uniquely do with film that are difficult to do anywhere else: they can bring a picture to life, give it a natural and historical context and make you feel that everything else is suddenly credible.

Movies tie things up in an arbitrary length of time, but I have always liked things that aren't fully realised.

We want these movies to be timeless, and we want people to really engage with the characters and find something that they can really relate to and emotionally connect with.

Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally.

It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.
