I think CGI is interesting, but it's too expensive and limiting in terms of what you can do shot-by-shot.

'Doctor Who' is pretty dark, I think. Generally it's dark; it's always been dark.

If you judge everything by how photographically real it looks, then you're missing out on a lot of what art is about and what communication is. There are ambiguities in life, and that should be reflected in art, cinema, and storytelling, I think.

The things that inspire people to think are what keeps a film alive.

If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things.

You really have to be careful with the clues you lay into the film - if they're too heavy-handed, or you've pandered to a slightly stupider audience, then you've spoiled it for the people who are even slightly smart.
