It's An Unhealthy Habit To Say That

One Of The Reasons The Whole Hollywood Way Of Making Films Wouldn't Work For Me Is Because The Way I Operate Would Be Anathema To Anyone Who Wants To Hold A Job Down In Beverly Hills.

I Make Films Because I Am Endlessly Fascinated By People. I'm Fascinated Immediately To Know About The Lives That Are Going On Around Me. That Is What Drives Me. And That Is Because Everybody Matters, Everybody Is There To Be Cared About, Everybody Is Interesting And Everybody Is The Potential Central Character In A Story. Judging People Is Not Acceptable.

I Think The Camera Has Got To Be Motivated. You Can't Have Things Arrived At Gratuitously. Everything Has To Have An Organic Function, But The More Comfortable I've Become And The More Imaginative And Sophisticated And The More Exploratory I've Become At The Medium, The More I've Subtly Deviated Away From That In Various Ways.

I Feel Very Much Ideologically, Politically If You Like, And Emotionally Part Of The European Cinema.

It's An Unhealthy Habit To Say That Life Is What You Make Of It, And If You Want To Be Happy, Then You Can Be Happy. That's Just Rubbish, Basically.
