“It was very challenging. And incredibly liberating. I felt an extraordinary freedom. Once I’d set myself the limitations of this single location, I found that I was able to kind of fly, and that my imagination was so heightened. It was a really extraordinary experience. And I had the support of an amazing crew, and they were invigorated by it also. So, it was the most challenging, the most scary, and the most fun.” - Joe Wright about Anna Karenina

“I wanted to go back to that nervous excitement you feel at the beginning, when you aren’t sure whether or not this thing is actually going to work. It’s an exciting place to be, and as much as the data might argue against it, I think audiences want to see something new and wholly original. That’s something you don’t get as a moviegoer all that often anymore.” - Gore Verbinski about A Cure for Wellness

“We were very literal about it. Most of the changes that happened did so for financial reasons rather than creative ones. The book works obviously, so we tried to be faithful to it. I kind of had faith that the film would work too if we stuck to the truth of the novel.” - Joe Wright about Atonement

“Our Paterson is admittedly an imaginary Paterson. Paterson is a very rough place, it’s a difficult place. There are a lot of working people there, and a lot of poor people there. It’s also incredibly mixed, ethnically.” - Jim Jarmusch about Paterson
