I Try And Create For The Audience

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.

Film-makers Should Remain True To Their Principles And Never Compromise, There Is A Real Revival In The British Film Industry But There Is A Danger That We Will Become Colonial Servants Of Hollywood. We Need To Maintain Our Own Integrity.

I've Long Since Stopped Worrying About How I'm Portrayed In The Press Because Ultimately It's Not That Important. Everyone Who Knows Me Knows I Do What I Do With The Greatest Integrity.

I Think It’s Important That Nobody Forgets That Although Hollywood Commercially Dominates The World Cinema, In Fact What Comes Out Of The Filmmaking Here Is Only A Tiny Slice Out Of The Massive Amount Of Operation That Goes On Around The World.

The Whole Thing About Making Films In An Organic Film On Location Is That It's Not All About Characters, Relationships And Themes, It's Also About Place And The Poetry Of Place. It's About The Spirit Of What You Find, The Accidents Of What You Stumble Across.
