Stephen Hopkins Quotations

When I was thinking of casting this, I thought, What roles would Sellers be playing now?

We use a lot of source music on some shows and none on others.

It's rare that scenes last more than 2 or 3 minutes, so sound helps segue from one scene to another.

I had no special effects, no monsters running around, nothing blew up; those things are all things I've done so many times that they lose their allure after a while.

Knowing that Gene and Morgan were playing those roles made it much easier to put the script together-we knew who we were writing it for. It took some mystery away.

Because of all the concurrent stories going in 24 and its fast pace, it can be complicated in terms of the story, so I thought sound could help with the storytelling.

There were no previews; we made the film we wanted to make.

Everyone was going to play their part honestly, and not try and pretend to be good or bad guys.

I wanted to make a film that was sophisticated and emotional, but for a wider audience.

I have an adult emotional life and an editing system inside me which prevents me from being preposterously stupid.
