That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.

Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.

Audiences are less intrigued, honestly, by battle. They're more intrigued by human relations. If you're making a film about the trappings of the period, and you're forgetting that human relationships are the most engaging part of the storytelling process, then you're in trouble.

Nowadays, everything's evolved into superheroes and it's boring. If I see one more superhero movie I'm going to shoot myself.

You've got to be able to know someone really well to be able to have a row and then also walk away from it and not have it matter, especially in this business. That doesn't mean to say we have many rows but I think the nearest thing to a row would be just flatly disagreeing with something .

I went to Art College and during the summer I made a movie with my brother. I got hold of a little camera, wrote a script and dragged my brother, Tony, out of bed to help me (which he did not like), so that we could shoot a film every day for six weeks. It was made for £65 and it was called Boy On A Bicycle.

I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.

I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.

You step forward and make it real for a start. You choose a sensible moment in history. Funnily enough, England was bankrupt and the moment is the death of Richard The Lionheart... Richard takes an arrow in the neck collecting a small debt from a small castle on his way home from the Crusades because he's penniless.

I think if I'm going to do a science fiction, I'm going to go down a new path that I want to do.

It's everything and I always make decisions about the cast.

You don't really know what you're going to get until you're actually in Abbey Road. That's where I did all the music, in The Beatles' place.
