Some directors don't get involved in the cinematography and are just about story, but I'm definitely more tactile than that in terms of my involvement in the minutiae.

The anticipation-speculation that comes with a weekly schedule is a double-edged sword. Because people have more time to talk about things, some crazy ideas get a lot of attention.

In terms of tackling different subjects, I can't really think of anything I wouldn't want to try; that's the fun of it right? Each new style brings new challenges - not that you shouldn't focus on one and master it, but it takes so long to make a film, you just want to have some variety.

It's rare that you can promote a love story and feel fear in a film.

It's a treat and daunting to be directing someone like Judi Dench, who's made more films than I'll ever make in my lifetime.

My ideas tend to be either really big in terms of like, the logistics, or really small.
