The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.
But in the back of my mind I've always looked to the biggest-scale Hollywood movies. Because to me the most satisfying experience is of watching a movie, if it's done really well. And so that aspiration is always it for me, if I have the opportunity to do it.
I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.
You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world, and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way, in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.
Yeah, it's odd when you look back at your own work. Some filmmakers don't look back at their work at all. I look at my work a lot, actually. I feel like I learned something while looking at stuff I've done in terms of what I'm going to do in the future, mistakes I've made and things at work or what have you.
To be honest, I don't enjoy watching movies much when I'm working. They tend to fall apart on me a bit.
I've always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies.
I'm taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.
But I have been interested in dreams, really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind, when you are asleep, can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.
I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.
