Films Are Made All Over The World

I Discover What My Film Is By Embarking On The Journey Of Making It.

The Way An Actor Is Trained Doesn't Ultimately Have Much Bearing On My Work. I'm Interested In The Actor As Artist.

A Lot Of The Reasons That I'm Resistant To Making Films In The U.s. Have Nothing To Do With Not Doing A Film In Hollywood, But Rather To Do With What I'm Committed To Working On In The U.k. I Feel Very Committed To The British Film Industry And Infrastructure.

I Hope I Make Films Where You Walk Away . . . With Work To Do, Arguments To Have, Things To Worry About, Things To Care About. In That Sense, I Would Regard What I Do As Political.

I Grew Up Looking At... Going To The Movies A Lot, As Much As They'd Let You. I Grew Up In Manchester In The North Of England In The '40s And '50s. I Saw A Lot Of Movies. They Were All Hollywood And British Movies. I Didn't See A Film That Wasn't In English Until I Was 17 When I Went To London To Be A Student.
