David Yates

I love 'The Stand;' I read it when I was a kid - it was one of my favorite books when I was growing up. I love Stephen King; I think he's a remarkable writer. ”

I like happy sets. Happy sets are good, and I think people feel comfortable on them. ”

I like humor. ”

A lot of Hollywood films tend to be bloated, bombastic, loud. At the same time, I do like the infrastructure of making a blockbuster; it's like having a big train set. ”

I like to create an atmosphere where actors feel safe enough to take risks. ”
