To His Ex-wife In Court,

I Find That In The Process Of Making A Film You're Constantly Discovering Things That You Never Even Imagined Would Work At The Beginning. Actors Come Into The Film And Do Things You Never Even Imagined. Production Designers Come In, The Director Of Photography Lights It In A Way That You Never Imagined. So, It's Always Evolving, Always Exciting.

When I Start A Film, I Can Sort Of Shut My Eyes, Sit Somewhere Quiet And Imagine The Movie Finished. I Can Imagine The Camera Angles, I Can Even Imagine The Type Of Music. Without Knowing The Tune, I Can Imagine The Type Of Music It Needs To Be.

I Wanted People To Believe That There Could Still Be This Little Undiscovered Piece Of The World That Survives Still On Skull Island.

Structure Is Important In Film, But There's Often Structure To Be Found In The Most Unlikely Of Places! It's Quite Possible To Build A Structured Story And Retain Idiosyncrasy.

I Think That You Can Treat A Classic Like A Museum Piece -stuffed And Mounted- Or You Can Make It A Living, Breathing Narrative That Is Unfolding Right Then And There.
