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

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.

I'm a Harry Potter fan.

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

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

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.
