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.

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.

As far as the dreams go, really I would only point to there are times in my life where I experienced lucid dreaming, which is a big feature of Inception - the idea of realizing you're in a dream and therefore trying to change or manipulate it in some way. That's a very striking experience for people who have it.
Christopher Nolan

I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. (Leonard Shelby, Memento)
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.

Film is the best way to capture an image and project that image. It just is, hands down.
Christopher Nolan
Image
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.

Every Great Story deserves a Great Ending and 'The Dark Knight Rises' is our Attempt to give that GREAT story, a GREAT ENDING.

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
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
The best actors instinctively feel out what the other actors need, and they just accommodate it.
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
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
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
I'm taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.
Christopher Nolan
Image
I've always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies.
Christopher Nolan
Image
I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.
Christopher Nolan
Image
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
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
A camera is a camera, a shot is a shot, how you tell the story is the main thing.
Christopher Nolan
Image
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.
