I think there has been this increasing misperception that kids will not respond to something because it’s also for adults. I think that often that tends to get underestimated. Christopher Nolan Read Quote
The problem with big films is they snowball very rapidly and you can never pull back. It’s a pipeline that needs to be fed. Christopher Nolan Read Quote
I sometimes think how strange it is that I’ve got to do exactly what I want, and that is difficult to cope with. You have to remind yourself every few weeks: I’m making this film and this is exactly what I want to do. And suddenly you’re happy again. Christopher Nolan Read Quote
But ‘Memento’ was so successful, such a huge cult hit, almost on the scale of a large film. If that had happened, with all the acclaim, before the next job, I’d have found it very difficult to figure out what to do next. Christopher Nolan Read Quote
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. Christopher Nolan Read Quote
I made ‘Batman’ the way I made every other film, and I’ve done it to my own satisfaction – because the film, truly, is exactly the way I wanted it to be. Christopher Nolan Read Quote
I’m very happy where 3-D is going, which is that it’s becoming a choice – and thankfully, most people are still choosing 2-D. Christopher Nolan Read Quote
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. Christopher Nolan Read 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 Read Quote
