![“It's almost inherent, but I'm a massive [Stanley] Kubrick fan. I'm a big admirer of what guys like Christopher Nolan have been able to do. For me, to be able to try to make big films that reach a lot of people, and that hopefully have something to say, is a lofty goal, but that's my goal.” quote by David Brooks](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f17/david-brooks-644_able_it-s-almost-inherent-but-i-m-a-massive-s_2765278.jpg)
