You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me.

And later I thought, I can't think how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography.

I like the probability of the impossible.

I imagine if aliens came down to Earth, they'd actually be quite tall; people seem to get everything right about extraterrestrials but the size!

Don't you think it's something strange that you rarely look at yourself in the mirror, except to do things like stand and ponder? I mean, in Shakespeare's day, it was thought that the mirror would reveal something, that it is trying to tell you something - not just to tidy your hair, but something more.

The rules are learnt in order to be broken, but if you don't know them, then something is missing.
