If we were the interviewer, we would like to ask to him :
Did you imagine that one day `Alice in Wonderland would be so successful?
Imagine that you are making the film again which parts will you change?
In fact,it was the most difficult project that i have ever made. Because listening to native speakers speech is very time consuming process.
