I'm very happy where 3-D is going, which is that it's becoming a choice - and thankfully, most people are still choosing 2-D.

In Hollywood there's a great openness, almost a voracious appetite for new people. In England there's a great suspicion of the new. In cultural terms, that can be a good thing, but when you're trying to break into the film industry, it's definitely a bad thing.

Image
I never meet anybody who actually likes the format, and it’s always a source of great concern to me when you’re charging a higher price for something that nobody seems to really say they have any great love for.
Christopher Nolan
Image
A camera is a camera, a shot is a shot, how you tell the story is the main thing.
Christopher Nolan
Image
To me, any kind of filmmaking that's reactive is not going to be as good as something more inventive and original.
Christopher Nolan
Image
I'm taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.
Christopher Nolan
Image
I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. (Leonard Shelby, Memento)
Christopher Nolan
Image
I want to be surprised and entertained by a movie, so that's what we're trying to do for the audience. Obviously, we also have to sell the film.
Christopher Nolan
Image
You never quite know what you're going to come back to and figure out how to make it work. You never quite know where that desire to finish something, or return to something in a fresh way, is going to come from. Every time I finished a film and went back and looked at it, I had changed as a person.
Christopher Nolan

Memory can change the shape of a room it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts. (Leonard Shelby, Memento)
Christopher Nolan
Image
You musn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
Christopher Nolan
Image
I made 'Batman' the way I made every other film, and I've done it to my own satisfaction - because the film, truly, is exactly the way I wanted it to be.
Christopher Nolan
Image
I will miss the Batman. I like to think that he'll miss me, but he's never been particularly sentimental.
Christopher Nolan
Image
Heist movies tend to be a bit superficial, glamorous, and fun. They don't tend to be emotionally engaging.
Christopher Nolan
Image
What I try to do is write from the inside out. I really try to jump into the world of the film and the characters, try to imagine myself in that world rather than imagining it as a film I'm watching onscreen. Sometimes, that means I'm discovering things the way the audience will, with character and story.
Christopher Nolan
Image
There are points where you worry that you might be putting too much in and alienating the audience. But, funnily enough, some of those fears aren't correct.
Christopher Nolan
Image
Well, you always discover a lot in the editing room. Particularly the action, because you have to over-shoot a lot and shoot an enormous amount of material because many of the sequences have to be discovered in the editing and manipulation of it.
Christopher Nolan
Image
I think audiences get too comfortable and familiar in today's movies. They believe everything they're hearing and seeing. I like to shake that up.
Christopher Nolan
Image
It's certainly difficult to balance marketing a film and putting it out there to everybody with wanting to keep it fresh for the audience.
Christopher Nolan
Image
Every Great Story deserves a Great Ending and 'The Dark Knight Rises' is our Attempt to give that GREAT story, a GREAT ENDING.
Christopher Nolan

I've been fascinated by dreams my whole life, since I was a kid, and I think the relationship between movies and dreams is something that's always interested me.
