Zitat des Tages von Jonathan Nolan:
I'd grown up in the U.K., where the surveillance apparatus went into place in the 1970s in response to the Troubles with the IRA. When I was a kid, we moved to Chicago, and I was surprised to see you could live in a large city in which you didn't have cameras on every street corner.
I'm not a big fan of visual effects.
Some things work better as a book, some things work better as a story, some things works better as a film.
I grew up watching 'Magnum, P.I.' and shows like that, where you could develop a character over eight seasons, with stories along the way.
With films, you get to develop a set of characters, and then, at the end of the film, you have to throw them away.
I love crime procedurals. I always have. I love cop shows.
When you're doing a film called 'Interstellar,' at some point - the idea was to be grounded in the science as much as possible - but with a name like 'Interstellar,' you had better go somewhere big and bold.
We have been crafted by disaster to push out to the utmost horizon to find out what's on the other side of it. That's in our nature. What's also in our nature is a profound love and connection to our children and our communities. Those two things are very much at conflict with one another at certain moments.
My earliest memories are making little Super 8 films - or watching my brother make stop-motion space spectaculars.
I believe we should be good custodians of the Earth.
I'm a big gamer. I know the lead time and how long it takes to develop a game and how hard it is to get it right.
I often want to go to the movies and see something that transports you beyond the infinite.
I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.
I'm a big fan of the Mass Effect games, and that's all about social manipulation and observing people and alliances and relationships.
I consider my job as a screenwriter to pack a script with possibilities and ideas - to create a feast for the filmmaker to pick from.
I don't like things I work on to have political didacticism - there are questions, but not messages.
'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' ends with the spaceship lands and Richard Dreyfuss' character best on, but a bunch of pilots and sailors from the 1940s get off. You kind of wanted to know what happened next.
I was a big Batman fan when I was a kid.
