Christopher Nolan gets angry when one of his films receives a bad review.
The 44-year-old director is responsible for some of Hollywood's biggest successes in recent years, including 'Inception' and Interstellar', but admits criticism of his movies still hurts.
However, he explained: "It's not as hard to keep your reactions in proportion as you might think, and the reason for that is because yes, a bad review or a particular criticism will make you angry, and you'll be happy when somebody says they like the film - but you get both reactions to every film, no matter who you are, and it's the same movie! So there's a very natural kind of perspective that comes in about other people's responses, which is they're very, very subjective, just as mine are to a lot of movies I watch, so, you don't want to be reactive to that."
Nolan admitted 'Interstellar' is a more "emotional" film than those he typically makes, but said the script wasn't a response to his critics.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I think Interstellar is just more obviously personal and more obviously about emotion than my other films, so yes, it absolutely comes to the forefront, but it's because that's what the story is about entirely.
"I mean, it's literally about connections between human beings and what they might mean if we look at them from a different perspective. So no, I try not to be reactive in what I do."

Mark Wahlberg wants to make a 'Boardwalk Empire' movie.
The 43-year-old actor, who was a producer on the popular HBO show, has revealed he would love to see it make the transition from television to the cinema - and he's targeting award-winning film-maker Martin Scorsese to direct the movie.
Speaking about the prospect of making the film, Wahlberg told NJ.com: "My next goal now is to get the movie made and start talking to Martin Scorsese about directing it."
Scorsese, 72, directed the acclaimed pilot episode of the series, while he also performed the role of executive producer throughout its run.
Wahlberg, meanwhile, is also an influential figure behind the 'Entourage' film, which is set for release later this year, while he's set to star in 'The Six Billion Dollar Man'.
He will appear on screen as former astronaut Steve Austin, who requires bionic repairs to his body after a suffering a near-fatal crash.
The movie movie - based on the 1972 novel 'Cyborg' by Martin Caidinwill - sees the central character fitted with bionic legs, right arm and left eye, as he works to help the US government.

Guy Pearce always wanted to be an actor.
The 47-year-old star - who plays Eric in 'The Rover' opposite Robert Pattinson - admits that whilst he loved the industry, he wasn't keen on the fame that came along with his success.
He shared: "It's not what I went into it for, not every actor wants to be Tom Cruise."
Guy - who has previously confessed to having a problem with cannabis - no longer smokes the herbal drug but admits that it did affect his life both personally and professionally at the time.
He said: "I was a mess, I was not answering the phone, not responding to anyone.
"Then one day I was under the sofa - stoned - when I heard a voice on my answering machine: 'It's Nick Cave. We've sent you a script and you have to listen...'."
After the phone call, Guy decided he would take a month away to the remote aboriginal desert of Cape Leveque, where he could "give myself time to think, sort myself out".
Meanwhile, Guy also opened up about the death of his father when he was just eight-years-old, admitting that it made him feel "anxious" and "afraid".
He told Event magazine: "I think from that point on, I felt I had to become an adult. I was very young but everything I had known in my life changed.
"It definitely made me very anxious and very afraid of unpredictable things happening to me. I found it hard to be around people. What I liked about acting was the structure of being someone else.
"Growing up I was a shy, anxious kid. I hated being pushed to the front. I wanted to act and people assume because you do acting, you want to go in front of the class and do a talk in front of everyone in assembly. That, to me, was a sweaty-palmed nightmare. In acting you are reading lines, being someone else. It is all scripted, costumed, secure. Anything else just wasn't."

Jennifer Saunders has finished the first draft of the 'Absolutely Fabulous' movie script.
The 56-year-old comedian has been working on the script for the past 12 months and has revealed she felt "euphoric" after finishing writing, while she also confirmed that the eagerly-awaited movie would be called 'Edina and Patsy'.
She said: "I've finished the first draft. I'm feeling euphoric.
"My proper New Year's resolution is to do the film, otherwise it'll be a pointless year of procrastination."
Jennifer also confirmed to the Sunday People newspaper that the cast of the iconic BBC sitcom - which included Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha and June Whitfield - will be returning to their original roles for the movie.
Earlier this year, Jennifer revealed that her struggle to write the movie led her to seek professional help.
She explained: "I am actually having treatment, hypnotherapy, for procrastination. It's true, What my hypnotist said was to get rid of the backpack of negativity."
The sitcom, which ran from 1992 to 2012, was based on an original idea by Jennifer and Dawn French, and developed a huge following in the UK.
Jennifer has previously said she hopes to release the film in 2015.

Christopher Nolan's career was inspired by 'Star Wars'.
The 44-year-old film-maker is responsible for some of the most eye-catching movies in recent years, including 'Inception' and 'Interstellar', and he's revealed the influence 'Star Wars' creator George Lucas had on his chosen path in life.
He explained: "I went to the movies a lot as a kid. That first Star Wars, that George Lucas directed, came out in 1977 when I was seven years old. It made a huge impression on me, in terms of the scope of it and the idea that you could create an entirely different experience for the audience, literally any world, more than one world, a whole different galaxy.
"They also re-released [Stanley] Kubrick's 2001 when I was seven, so I got to see that on a huge screen, and it was really a thrilling experience. I don't remember being remotely concerned about what it meant or whether it was elusive or confusing; I just remember the visceral nature of seeing spaceships, seeing other worlds and being taken to other dimensions. That experience was huge for me."
Nolan knew what he wanted to do for a living very early in his life.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'd already started playing around with my dad's Super 8 camera, making little war films and stuff. And then, after Star Wars, my films all became space films.
"I think when I was about 12 or 13, I want to say, I started to begin to identify with the idea of the director as the sort of controlling force, or the closest analogy to what I was doing on my Super 8 camera, you know, just making images and putting them together."

Emily Blunt loves working with Meryl Streep.
The pair starred alongside each other in the 2006 hit 'The Devil Wears Prada' and have reunited for 'Into The Woods', and Emily has revealed she thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The 31-year-old actress reflected: "I feel like Meryl walks through life in a constant state of needing to diffuse people's intimidation of her. A weird way to exist. Maybe it helped that at least she didn't have to worry about me.
"It doesn't mean I'm any less in awe of her."
Emily - who gave birth to her daughter Hazel in 2014 - says 'Into The Woods' is a little darker than the typical Disney film and she thinks it's important children are not overprotected.
She told The Guardian newspaper: "Chris Pine [who plays the prince in the movie] was telling me that most schools in America only do the first act of the play, where everything is happy ever after. And it's just sad that we're choosing to coddle our children that way, because no one's more perceptive than a child."
Emily added: "Nobody goes through life unscathed. If you want to fairytale the s*** out of everything, you're doing everyone a disservice."

'Enemy' makes its audience feel like they are "dreaming".
Jake Gyllenhaal, who stars as a college professor in the film who discovers a look-alike actor and learns more about the other man's private affairs, said he enjoyed appearing in a movie that's so intense and explores such a dark subject matter.
He told The Independent newspaper: "This movie hopefully feels like you're dreaming. It's an exploration of the unconscious. Such an intense mood.
"I have this feeling that, ironically, the darker the places you go, the more you can illuminate. I really do believe in the world being a genuinely complicated place, but a very beautiful one."
This comes shortly after Jake claimed that everybody in society ought to relate to his 2014 movie 'Nightcrawler', which concerns people who race to crime scenes to film eye-catching incidents before selling the footage to TV news channels.
The 34-year-old star said: "I equate it with fast food. We all know [it's] bad for us. But people demand it ... This narrative of fear and this spinning of news has a great detrimental effect."
Jake added society is complicit in this activity.

Steve Carell has "never cared about being taken seriously".
The 52-year-old entertainer, who made his name in 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' and 'Anchorman', has made a successful transition from comedies to dramas, but Steve isn't worried about the type of roles he's offered.
Asked whether he's concerned about losing his comic edge, Steve replied: "Not really. To me, they are different styles of entertainment, with different methods.
"I've never cared about being taken seriously - I just see myself as an actor. Most of my career, I've just taken what I've been offered. I always feel most comfortable as part of a ensemble. Whether it's a comedy or a drama, I like to fit in. It's best not to stick out."
Steve found fame relatively late in his career and says his priority has always been to provide for his family.
He told The Guardian newspaper: "You know, that didn't happen till I was 40. All of that came to pass after I had a long career as an actor. It sounds such an aw-shucks kind of thing to say, but I just wanted to make a living. That was the goal: to be able to have a family and support them."

Emily Blunt hasn't appeared on screen as either Black Widow and Peggy Carter because she was never offered the roles at "the right time".
The 31-year-old actress was linked to the roles from the Marvel comic books, but has revealed scheduling never allowed her to accept either part.
Asked whether she held talks about appearing as Black Widow and Peggy Carter, Emily shared: "Yeah, but it was never the right time, really, and it just didn't work out scheduling-wise with those two. It's always a difficult thing to talk about, because it's not fair to the actresses who ended up playing them, you know? It just wasn't the right time."
The 'Into The Woods' actress has also revealed how much she enjoyed starring alongside Meryl Streep in the new movie, following their success with 'The Devil Wears Prada'.
She told Vulture: "Meryl was like a mama bear on set. She was always on pee patrol, making sure I got time to pee whenever I wanted to. 'Guys, cut! Emily needs to use the bathroom -- again!' [Laughs.] It was that kind of thing."
Emily also confirmed she'd like to appear in a full theatrical production of 'Into The Woods'.
She said: "That would be kind of amazing! I would be up for it. I'd be terrified, but I'd be up for it. And then you'd really be put to the test, to sing live. But we'd have to get the whole gang."
