The Problem With The British Film Industry

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.

There's A Constant Drip And Trickle Of Life That Goes Into One's Awareness Really And Consciousness Of Things.

I Think Michael Caine Is A Perfectly Good Actor But It's Obvious He's Not Going To Be In One Of My Films.

I Try And Create For The Audience Something That Relates To Real-life Experience.

But Actually I Make Films That I Think Are Extremely Sophisticated And Cinematic.
