People just want to watch movies that are entertaining, it doesn't matter what genre it is.
I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.
You can't please everyone... If you make a good movie, that's all that matters.
I think music is what takes the experience off the screen into your soul, into your head.
Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.
It's a juggernaut, yeah... but I'm not phased by making movies.
I like the X-Men, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.
I think it's easier to make a film with 200 million dollars than 960 grand.
Im as conservative as they come.
Every night I vow to work out in the morning. For the past three years, however, I have always found an excuse not to.
You need cliches. Cliches are what people respond to.
I'm a big believer that it doesn't matter what you call your company, nobody ever notices.
I'm not a member of a minority but I can empathize with what's going on.
What I learned very quickly is that if you get it right in the first two or three takes, it's not going to get that much better.
I'm a Star Wars fanatic.
I think you should make a movie that has an audience.
You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.
Crime, money, power, drugs - are all linked.
I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.
Cliches are what make you understand something.
People want fun and escapism at the moment. Look at the success of Guardians of the Galaxy. I think Nolan kick-started a very dark, bleak style of superhero escapism, and I think people have had enough of it.
I had a philosophy, which may have been proven right, that directing isn't as hard as everyone says it is.
If you give the audience what they expect, they'll be bored. There are no rules: You do what you want while respecting the boundaries. You don't poke people in the eye; you do things they haven't seen before and make it accessible, funny and clever.
Music is half the film.
I'll never be a good writer, and no chance of being a good actor.
