• [There, in War Horse] very little CGI. What happened there - because the horse was running very close to the trench, we had a rider. So in few instances, we had a rider dressed in a green suit. The rider would guide the horse through the frame, and through CGI [we removed] the rider. But that's about it.

• My first time acting for camera really was for Steven Spielberg in War Horse. I was trained in theater and I was actually working in theater at the time. I had a small role with the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is a huge prestigious theater company back in England. I honestly thought that was as good as it got.

• Alas!... what is it, valiant knight, save an offering of sacrifice to a demon of vain glory, and a passing through the fire of Moloch?

• Wake, soldier wake, thy war-horse waits
  To bear thee to the battle back;--
  Thou slumberest at a foeman's gates,--
  Thy dog would break thy bivouac;
  Thy plume is trailing in the dust,
  And thy red falchion gathering rust.
