Quote

Heist movies tend to be a bit superficial, glamorous, and fun. They don't tend to be emotionally engaging.

My approach with actors is to try and give them whatever it is they need from me. Direction to me is about listening and responding and realizing how much they need to know from me and how much they have figured out for themselves, really.

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.

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.

If I could steal someone's dream myself, I'd have to go for one of Orson Welles.

A camera is a camera, a shot is a shot, how you tell the story is the main thing.

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'm taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.
Christopher Nolan
Image
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.

It's always a fun collaboration with my brother. I'm very fortunate to be able to work with him. There's an honesty to collaboration. There's a lack of a gender or ego in our conversations. And so you can really throw anything around.
Christopher Nolan

People want to see something that shows them you can do what you say. That's the trick.
Christopher Nolan
Image
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.
Christopher Nolan
Image
The best actors instinctively feel out what the other actors need, and they just accommodate it.
Christopher Nolan

You musn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
Christopher Nolan

I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me.

I will miss the Batman. I like to think that he'll miss me, but he's never been particularly sentimental.

The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.

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

I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.
Christopher Nolan
Image
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.
