I Think If It's Interesting, It's Interesting,

I Had This Spooky Psychological Thing About 'the Piano' Before It Began, Which Was How Everybody Was Going To Go Nuts On The Set. Because A Film Tends To Set Up The Way People Are Going To Behave.

I Think The Whole Tension About Romanticism Is The Way It Builds And Builds, And The Moment It's Consummated, The Tension's Over.

My Musical Knowledge Is So Bad It's Embarrassing. When Composers Discuss Music With Someone As Primitive As Myself, They Have To Talk About It In Terms Of Senses And Emotion, Rather Than Keys And Tempo.

I Took Four Years Off After 'in The Cut' Because I Wanted To See Who I'd Be Without Work. I Even Tried Being A Hermit In The Wilderness In New Zealand. I Stayed In A Warden's Hut Two-and-a-half Hours Off The Routeburn Track Through The Fjords On The South Island. It Was Early Winter, So There Was No Electricity Or Running Water.

I Think If It's Interesting, It's Interesting, And If It's Not, It's Not Working.
