It's Not That Often That You Get

As Soon As Television Became The Only Secondary Way In Which Films Were Watched, Films Had To Adhere To A Pretty Linear System, Whereby You Can Drift Off For Ten Minutes And Go And Answer The Phone And Not Really Lose Your Place.

One Of The Things You Do As A Writer And As A Filmmaker Is Grasp For Resonant Symbols And Imagery Without Necessarily Fully Understanding It Yourself.

The Structural Notions To Me Always Have To Be Worked Out Very Carefully In The Script Stage. Whatever A Particular Structure Is. Whether It's Chronological Or Non-chronological. To Me That's Always About What Point Of View Are We Trying To Address In The Film?

For Me, Batman Is The One That Can Most Clearly Be Taken Seriously. He's Not From Another Planet, Or Filled With Radioactive Gunk. I Mean, Superman Is Essentially A God, But Batman Is More Like Hercules: He's A Human Being, Very Flawed, And Bridges The Divide.

To Be Honest, I Don't Enjoy Watching Movies Much When I'm Working. They Tend To Fall Apart On Me A Bit.
