I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.
The world is sick of big IT things that don't work.
Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because were from North England.
I've had a love affair with every movie I've ever done.
All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.
I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently,
I make a movie because it's something that inspires me.
I think the guiding principle for me is working with people, because I don't know how long it's going to last, I want to seize the moment and work with people I want to work with.
My stories are pretty simplistic, but the characters are always complex and always right, and that comes from the script and my research and reverse-engineering what I find in the real world.
I'm a plagiarist - I always look back at other movies, and I steal, but I steal well, and I reinvent.
Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because we're from North England.
We think of enterprise architecture as the process we use for fully describing and mapping business functionality and business requirements and relating them to information systems requirements.
The real world has always been far more exciting and funny and dangerous to me than anything somebody could conjure up sitting in front of a computer.
We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.
