I worked in TV for a short time and couldn't stand the fact that we'd always be filming someone talking, just giving information. ”

A lot of the time when I'm working, I'm abroad. ”

Hopefully with digital projection, a film will always look the way the filmmaker intended. ”

You can't stop people watching on mobiles, but I hope the old fashioned idea of sitting in a dark room with a big screen with a group of strangers lives on forever. ”

There are no drivers like Formula One drivers. They are engineers, in a way. They are driving manual cars one-handed at 200 miles per hour around streets in Monaco. These cars use the ultimate in technology. ”

Hopefully, when people see 'Senna', they will understand why this inspirational story needed to be told, why it had to be made as a movie for the big screen, and why it is a film for everyone. ”

We want to make movies for the big screen. We want people to go to the theater and feel like they're watching a movie. ”

I just loved films. I knew I wanted to work on film, not video. ”

When I was given the opportunity to direct 'Senna,' I decided the film had to work for audiences who disliked sport or had never seen a Formula One race in their lives. It had to thrill and emotionally engage people who had never heard of Ayrton Senna. ”

I don't have these crazy deadlines. I don't have this, 'Oh it's got to be out tomorrow.' I don't like working like that. ”
