I Discover What My Film Is By

I'm Old Enough To Have Friends And Contemporaries Who Have Long Since Retired, And That's Their Prerogative - Enough Is Enough; It Doesn't Mean A Thing To Me. But I Haven't Got Any Money, So, You Know, I Just Keep On Working.

You Can't Make A Movie About The Artist Without Shooting Outdoors.

If I'm Ever Working On A Set And Anyone Talks About A Master Shot, I Say There Is No Master Shot. Before I Even Went To Film School, I Learned About Movies By Being In A British Feature Film, Where Everything Was Shot Master Shot, Mid-shot, Close-up. But I Reject The Idea Of A Master Shot. You Don't Shoot Everything Mechanically; You Find Imaginative Ways That Serve The Action.

The Reason My Films Work Is Because Every Actor On Set Is Very Secure. They're Able To Fly.

The Problem With The British Film Industry Is The Nervousness And Insecurity About - And Genuflection Toward - Los Angeles.
