A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

More quotes by Christopher Nolan
There's very few directors I think in this industry that would pitch to a studio that they wanted to do a multi-layered almost at times existential high action, high drama surreal film that's sort of locked in his mind. And then have an opportunity to do that.
Christopher Nolan
I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.
Christopher Nolan
I think the films Insomnia and Memento share all sorts of thematic concerns, such as the relationship between motivation and action, and the difficulty of reconciling your view of the story with the supposed objective view of that story.
Christopher Nolan
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
I think for me when you look at the idea of being able to create a limitless world and use it almost as a playground for action and adventure and so forth, I naturally gravitate towards cinematic worlds, whether it's the Bond films and things like that.
Christopher Nolan
People want to see something that shows them you can do what you say. That's the trick.
Christopher Nolan
My most enjoyable movie going experiences have always been going to a movie theater, sitting there and the lights go down and a film comes on the screen that you don't know everything about, and you don't know every plot turn and every character movement that's going to happen.
Christopher Nolan
I have always been a big fan of the character and am more of a moviegoer than a comic book guy, there is always something about the character of Batman that is very elemental. There is a great powerful myth to the character and romantic element that draws from a lot of literary sources
Christopher Nolan
To me, any kind of filmmaking that's reactive is not going to be as good as something more inventive and original.
Christopher Nolan
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.
Christopher Nolan
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
Period films to me are very often alienating to the audience. There's very often a formality. A staunchy quality to them that comes from the misenscene. It also comes from the performances of the actors, because they're acting Victorian which really means that they're just acting the way they've seen previous actors act Victorian.
Christopher Nolan
Film is the best way to capture an image and project that image. It just is, hands down.
Christopher Nolan
The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.
Christopher Nolan
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
I like films that don't have that unonimity of a response that don't have consensus in the audience. What it is essentially for me is that if you go back and watch the film a second time, do you feel that you've been played fair with? Are all the clues in place? Indeed, sometimes these things are even overstated. Specifically, for that reason.
Christopher Nolan
I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. (Leonard Shelby, Memento)
Christopher Nolan
To be honest, I don't enjoy watching movies much when I'm working. They tend to fall apart on me a bit.
Christopher Nolan
It's difficult to keep anything fresh for an audience these days. With technology being what it is people seem to know everything there is to know about a film before you've even made it.
Christopher Nolan
I don't actually tend to do a lot of research when I'm writing. I do know because I think a lot of what I find you want to do with research is just confirming things you want to do. If the research contradicts what you want to do, you tend to go ahead and do it anyway.
Christopher Nolan
