As A First-time Director In America, I

I Think Movies Are A Director's Medium In The End. Theater Is The Actor's Medium. Theater Is Fast, And Enjoyable, And Truly Rewarding. I Believe In Great Live Performance.

I Feel Like The American Years Were My Apprenticeship For Doing A Bond Movie.

The Movies That Influenced Me Were Movies That Told Their Stories Through Pictures More Than Words.

I Deliberately, In A Way, Went For Something That Was A Huge Challenge And Was A Big Period Film. I Was Excited About The Canvas On Which I Could Tell The Story As Much As The Story Itself.

The Perceived Wisdom Is That People Do Not Go In Large Numbers To Black-and-white Movies Anymore - Which Is A Great Shame, But I'd Love To Make A Black-and-white Movie One Day.
