My Father And I Had A Good

I've Never Let Producers Tell Me What To Do. Even When I Was Making Television, I Always Did What I Wanted To Do, And If I Couldn't, I Didn't Do It. It Was A Freedom That, These Days, Young Directors Starting Out Don't Have.

Well, The First Thing I Had To Do Was To Read A Lot. First Of All, About Education... And Looking At Education From The Middle Ages Right Through To The 20th Century. The Second Major Area Was Country Life In The 19th Century, Which I Don't Know Much About These Days.

Personally, I Can't Stand Violence. In Any Standard American Mainstream Movie, There's 20 Times More Violence Than In Any One Of My Films, So I Don't Know Why Those Directors Aren't Asked Why They're Such Specialists For Violence.
