What I Have Learned From My Work

I Had This Spooky Psychological Thing About 'the Piano' Before It Began, Which Was How Everybody Was Going To Go Nuts On The Set. Because A Film Tends To Set Up The Way People Are Going To Behave.

I've Had A Lot Of Different Responses To My Films. I Got A Lot Of Support From 'the Piano,' The Obvious One, But It Feels Like An Ocean, With A Lot Going On - The Goal Is To Keep Alive.

I Seem To Have Been Able To Make A Career Out Of Doing What I Feel Like Doing, So Why Not Keep Doing It? What's Corrupting Is Wanting To Be More Important. You Want To Be More Arty - You Get Your Identity From That. Or You Get Your Identity Out Of Making More Money.

When I Read Andrew Motion's Biography, I Wept. It's Something About The Purity Of The Story And How Fresh It Was Because Of The Love Letters Keats Wrote.

It's Been Such A Deep And Amazing Journey For Me, Getting Close To John Keats, And Also I Love Shelley And Byron. I Mean, The Thing About The Romantic Poets Is That They've Got The Epitaph Of Romantic Posthumously. They All Died Really Young, And Keats, The Youngest Of Them All.
