The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.

I'm interested in new worlds, new universes, new challenges. I always said the only reason to make a film is not for the result but for what you learn for the next one.

You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.

It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.

A good movie is three good scenes and no bad scenes.

The two real leads in 'Children of Men' are Clive Owen and the social environment. You know, this same movie without the social environment maybe is just like a generic chase movie.
