There's A Great Tradition At The Bfi

The Problem With Growing Up In A Cafe Was The Cafe Never Closed, My Parents Worked Every Day Of The Year From Morning To Night. So It Was A Big Menagerie Of Kids, Business And Cooking!

I Was One Of Five Very Clever Kids, The Other Kids Were Cleverer Than I Was And Still Are And Are Very Achieving. The Girls Were Always First At Everything And I Was Always 101st!

The Bfi Exists To Celebrate All Poets Of World Cinema, Of The Past And Present.

Once You Start To Realize That A Film Is The Sum Of Its Editing, Then Editing Is The Thing You're Always Looking At.

I'm Interested In Stories Which Insist On A Dog Fails-to-eat-dog Kind Of World. I Hate Misanthropy, Want To Believe That There's A Possibility That We Might All Be Redeemed, That Hope Deferred Makes The Soul Sick, That Our Humanity Is Fragile, Funny, Common, Crazy, Full Of The Longing For Love, The Failure Of Love.
