I Find The World More Absurd Now

Every Film I've Ever Worked On, And That Includes 'braveheart' And 'trainspotting,' I've Always Witnessed A Director Having A Breakdown. Every Director Will Have A Day, Without Exception, Where They Just Can't Do It Anymore, They Don't Know What To Say To Their Cameraman, Their Cast. It's The Sign Of Real, Physical Exhaustion.

I Was On The Set Of 'braveheart' And My Mate Says To Me, 'do You Think This Film Will Be Any Good?' And I Really Meant This, Too, I Told Him 'let Me Put It This Way - It Won't Win Any Awards.' Cut To: Five Oscars.

There Are Some People Who Walk Into A Room And They Oxygenate It, By Their Very Being There's Fresh Air. Then There Are Those Who Come In With The Smell Of Death And They Suck The Life Out.

It Takes A Very Strong Brain To Resist The Absolutes, The Myths That The Media And The Politicians Peddle - The Idea That If You Are Too Kind, Where Does It All End? That Not To Help Someone Is Somehow A Good Idea.

In Bringing The Subject Of Religious Oppression To A Wider Audience, I Didn't Just Want To Kick The Catholic Church But To Poke A Finger In The Throat Of Theocracy And To Let It Be Known That People Shouldn't Tolerate This Anymore.
