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

More quotes by Christopher Nolan
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
I'm a very fortunate person. I get to choose the movies that I want to do. I have a lot of friends in this industry that don't get to do that. I grew up in L.A. A lot of my friends are actors so I realize every day how lucky I am to have this opportunity, so while I'm here, I'm going to try to do exactly what I want.
Christopher Nolan
I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. (Leonard Shelby, Memento)
Christopher Nolan
I will miss the Batman. I like to think that he'll miss me, but he's never been particularly sentimental.
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 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
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
George Lazenby is no one's favorite James Bond, but for me the anonymity at the center of this lavish production only serves to reveal the Bond machine firing on all cylinders: superb editing and photography, incredible score, great setpieces. The most romantic in the series, and it actually has, of all things, a tragic ending.
Christopher Nolan
A camera is a camera, a shot is a shot, how you tell the story is the main thing.
Christopher Nolan
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
Heist movies tend to be a bit superficial, glamorous, and fun. They don't tend to be emotionally engaging.
Christopher Nolan
Superheroes fill a gap in the pop culture psyche, similar to the role of Greek mythology. There isn't really anything else that does the job in modern terms. For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously.
Christopher Nolan
People want to see something that shows them you can do what you say. That's the trick.
Christopher Nolan
Film is the best way to capture an image and project that image. It just is, hands down.
Christopher Nolan
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
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
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.
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 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
I've always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies.
Christopher Nolan
