I like to create an atmosphere where actors feel safe enough to take risks.

You never want to be the director who dropped the ball, you know?

I like happy sets. Happy sets are good, and I think people feel comfortable on them.

My own idea about 3D is that it is there to enhance the viewing experience but I don't think that you have to use it in a tricky way, I think that the minute you sacrifice story and character for something coming out of the screen, I think you've lost it.

I'm a Harry Potter fan.

Personally, I read a lot of scripts.

In an ideal world, I'd bounce between big projects and no-budget TV dramas with fantastic scripts. A lot of Hollywood films tend to be bloated, bombastic, loud. At the same time, I do like the infrastructure of making a blockbuster it's like having a big train set.
