“I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.”

“What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films - their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil.”

“I've always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies.”

“To be honest, I don't enjoy watching movies much when I'm working. They tend to fall apart on me a bit.”

“But in the back of my mind I've always looked to the biggest-scale Hollywood movies. Because to me the most satisfying experience is of watching a movie, if it's done really well. And so that aspiration is always it for me, if I have the opportunity to do it.”
