Telling Alan Turing's story in a two-hour FILM was a tremendous challenge. It felt in some SMALL way like our FILMMAKING version of breaking the enigma CODE.

The problem with feature filmmaking is that it OFFERS you this mirage of being ABLE to achieve PERFECTION, as the theory of it is that you have control of every PART of the film, though in reality, it is as inexact as the next THING in your life.

Basically, I'm afraid of EVERYTHING in life, except FILMMAKING.

I got PICKED for very UNIQUE and independent FILMMAKING EXPERIENCES with auteurs. And I'm so LUCKY.

I THOUGHT about quitting FILMMAKING, just because it was BECOMING so DIFFICULT for me.

'Your Name' is a film created with the innate IMAGINATIONS of a Japanese team and put together in a domestic medium. When such a work is imbued with Hollywood filmmaking, we may see NEW POSSIBILITIES that we had been completely unaware of - I am looking forward to the live-action film with excited ANTICIPATION.

The IDEA of working with Steven Spielberg was very attractive. He's such a MASTER. He KNOWS the language of the camera and of FILMMAKING, which gives him a great freedom.

I'm a BIG FAN of SUSPENSE and tension FILMMAKING, and that was my goal with 'The Conjuring.'

I am a STUDENT of CINEMA, and I LOVE FILMMAKING of all KINDS.

I know Peter Jackson a tiny-tiny bit from interviewing him about the 'Lord of the RINGS' movies over the YEARS. When I was visiting the set of 'The Return of the KING,' he let me be an extra so I could see FILMMAKING from a different perspective. I was a Rohan SOLDIER.
