I Have To Get Out Of Bed

I Really Think People Are Greatly Stimulated And Enriched By Experiencing In Film Just As We Can From Novels And Other Art, Experiencing Things That Resonate With What Our Lives Are About. I Think People Really Want To Know... Want To Share, Want To Have The Stimulus To Think And Care About The Way They Live Their Lives, The Way They Relate To Other People, Their Aspirations, Their Hopes, Et Cetera.

I Am Very Happy To Be Part Of European And World Cinema As A British Filmmaker.

If A Film Or Any Piece Of Work Doesn't Entertain, It Fails - And That Is Using The Word Entertain Literally, Meaning It Holds You There And You Become Absorbed By It So That You Don't Walk Away And Get Bored And So On.

The Kind Of Acting That's Wholly Literary Or Cerebral Is Wrong. It's Useless For Me To Have Actors So Much In Their Heads That They Can't Be Organic.

Some Of My Favorite Movies Are Hollywood Movies. Hollywood Is Part Of The Cinematic Spectrum. I Nurture A Healthy Love-hate Relationship With Hollywood.
