It's better to do a film that works.

I think you've got to talk to the director, see the director's films and recognise that it's important that the work fits right in and see if as part of the movie.

It's funny, though, with films, because you can incorporate a variety of elements, and sometimes that can work for you and sometimes I think it can work against you.

There are times when you're working with film people when you have to say, 'If the camera were on you, what you're doing would be perfect'.

A film is sort of binary - it either works or it doesn't work. It has nothing to do with how good a job you do. If you bring it up to an adequate level where the audience goes with the movie, then it works, that is all.

In film, you have to let go sometimes.

Films work due to scripts, characters, and what you see on screen.

Getting the call from Ridley Scott made me think that sometimes you just need to go to work.

You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change; you change.

It's the first film that I made where the director was not present under the camera, and it threw me.
