million queue sat standing ten
Well, I wasn't just kind of standing in a queue at McDonald's and someone sat down and said, 'You're the director of a $100 million Hollywood movie.' I've been working in commercials for ten years.
best limited quite success
We just did the best we could with quite a limited budget, to be honest, and had a lot of success.
naughty thinking swans
I think Kristen is incredibly brave. She played such a good version Bella Swan, people think Kristen Stewart is Bella Swan. She's not, you know? If you meet Kristen, she's wildly kind of giggly and vivacious and rebellious and naughty - all things that Bella Swan isn't.
reading writing directors
I read every screenplay that was being sent to the other directors. None were being sent to me, but I was reading what others were choosing and what the best writers were writing.
queens children heart
I don't love balls and sleeping beauties, that kind of thing. I think the great thing about 'Snow White' is those images have scarred me since I was a child with the Queen, the mirror, the taking of the heart, the huntsman and the enchanted forest.
once-upon-a-time stories ever-after
Our story is a 'once upon a time', but it's not a 'happy ever after'.
thinking epic trying
I think what we're trying to do as filmmakers is make a big, gritty, raw, epic movie and within that show things graphically in a way that they haven't been seen in that world before.
filmmaker feels
I'm influenced by a lot of filmmakers; I like English filmmakers because I feel a kin to them.
thinking political fiction
I think you can get away with being a bit more political in science fiction.
thinking games risk
I think that 'Halo' is a hard property because they don't need to make a film. They make far more money out of the games so why risk?
emotional thinking needs
I think it's possible to make a blockbuster that is actually emotional. They don't need to be mutually exclusive.
essence darkness fairy-tale
I grew up with a lot of fairy tales. And they had an essence of darkness to them.
mcdonalds years down-and
