`Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering. It`s not enough to have lived it once; you have to relive it. Darkness is not a pejorative thing."
- Naomi WattsThe term `genre` eventually becomes pejorative because you`re referring to something that`s so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started. What I`m trying to do is to create modern equivalents that speak to me of those tropes that have more of the original power.
- Christopher Nolan
