Any time Chris Nolan wants to call me for advice, he can.
I used to run with Chris Nolan before he was 'Chris Nolan.' I remember when he was trying to sell 'Memento,' and he just couldn't.
I think that I'm a pretty great producer, but the vision behind Batman is Chris Nolan. I'm there to do my best to help execute that vision, and I think I do a really good job, but the vision is Chris Nolan.
Just watching Chris Nolan direct was amazing. He is one of the most lovely people, which as you know doesn't always go hand-in-hand with great directors. But with Christopher Nolan, and there's only a few I think like him in Hollywood, that's absolutely true.
Chris [Nolan] comes at this with such a different take on Batman, so I didn't feel that I had to be true to any other actor playing this role. Of course, I read the comic books. His relationships with Lt. Gordon and with Batman, with Gotham City, those really helped me the most.
Chris Nolan is great, but I've never seen any of the 'Batman' movies all the way through. I know they're good. I just have zero interest in those kinds of movies.
Chris [ Nolan] and I have a strange way of working from the non-movie process, where after all these conversations and reading the script and more conversations, Chris went out and shot the films and the first thing he did, he wouldn't show it to me until I had written the music - not out of meanness, or anything, it just sort of seemed an interesting idea to see if there was some synchronicity and letting me use my imagination to the fullest instead of being constricted by cuts and images.
When a film like Chris Nolan's Memento cannot get picked up, to me independent film is over. It's dead.
When Chris Nolan is your director you are like, "I trust that, I'm wrong."
I really hope that I get to work with Chris [Nolan] some day.
I would have played street cop number three if it meant getting to work with Chris Nolan.
Shun advice at any price - that's what I call good advice.
People like Chris Nolan are shooting isolated sequences in IMAX. Those cameras are the size of a Volkswagen.
And I think that if something doesn't make sense, forcing yourself to understand it from [Chris Nolan's] perspective makes you better.
The world does not have a voice of its own. It can't tell you what it wants, what it needs. But it's yearning for something to point it in the right direction. A savior, perhaps. Save us, Chris! You must forgive me. Where have my manners gone. I don't think I've had a chance to formerly introduce myself. You may call me Bray Wyatt. But I have a thousand faces and a million names. Seducer, accuser, destroyer. I am the color red in a world full of black and white, and if you value your ability to breathe, don't get too close. Save us, Chris. Save yourself.
When a man comes to me for advice, I find out the kind of advice he wants, and I give it to him.
The painter Sidney Nolan once told me I tried too hard. Advice I've been trying hard to follow ever since.
