Film And The Other Creative Industries Are

I Absolutely Refuse To Accept The Fact That Any Country In The World Goes Into A Kind Of Film-making Crisis. What Happens Is They Lose Confidence, They Lose Focus And The Young Film-makers Of Any Particular Generation Can Very Easily Get Lost In That Mix. It's Happened In Italy, Happened In France, Happened In The U.k. During My Lifetime.

There Is No Education System In The World - None At All - That's Better Than Its Average Teacher.

Without Any Doubt At All, Teacher Quality Is The Fundamental Differentiator. Not Just, Incidentally, Of Education, But I Would Argue, Probably The Biggest Single Differentiator Of Success For The Nations Of The 21st Century.

The Most Important Thing I Think Teachers Can Do For Young People Is To Make Them Inquiring, Is To Ensure That They Know How To Gather Information, That They Check Information And They Take Their Information From A Multiplicity Of Sources.

At Its Best, Cinema Does Retain A Remarkable Ability To Speak To People Of Every Age, From Every Background, And In Ways That Almost Any Other Art Form In Popular Culture Struggles To Compete With.
