experienceView Quote

"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."

-Christopher Nolan

futureView Quote

"We all wake up in the morning wanting to live our lives the way we know we should. But we usually don't, in small ways. That's what makes a character like Batman so fascinating. He plays out our conflicts on a much larger scale."

-Christopher Nolan

morningView Quote

"I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it."

-Christopher Nolan

moviesView Quote

"I've always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies."

-Christopher Nolan

moviesView Quote

"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."

"To be honest, I don't enjoy watching movies much when I'm working. They tend to fall apart on me a bit."

-Christopher Nolan

moviesView Quote

"The term 'genre' eventually becomes pejorative because you're referring to something that's so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started."

-Christopher Nolan

powerView Quote

"I don't particularly enjoy watching films in 3D because I think that a well-shot and well-projected film has a very three-dimensional quality to it, so I'm somewhat sceptical of the technology."

-Christopher Nolan

technologyView Quote

"But, in each case, as a filmmaker who's been given sizable budgets with which to work, I feel a responsibility to the audience to be shooting with the absolute highest quality technology that I can and make the film in a way that I want."

-Christopher Nolan

technologyView Quote

"For the last 10 years, I've felt increasing pressure to stop shooting film and start shooting video, but I've never understood why. It's cheaper to work on film, it's far better looking, it's the technology that's been known and understood for a hundred years, and it's extremely reliable."

-Christopher Nolan
