You’re never going to learn something as profoundly as when it’s purely out of curiosity.
The audience knows the truth, the world is simple. It’s miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you got to see something really special.
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Bruce Wayne/Batman: A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat on a young boy’s shoulders to let him know that the world hadn’t ended.
I’m taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.
But I have been interested in dreams, really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind, when you are asleep, can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

I’ve been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I’ve wanted to do a film about them for a long time.
We all wake up in the morning wanting to live our lives the way we know we should. But we usually don’t, in small ways. That’s what makes a character like Batman so fascinating. He plays out our conflicts on a much larger scale.
The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.
I’ve always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies.
I think there’s a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I’ve felt it.
I don’t particularly enjoy watching films in 3D because I think that a well-shot and well-projected film has a very three-dimensional quality to it, so I’m somewhat sceptical of the technology.
