When Things Are Really Painful, I Turn

There Are Some People Who Walk Into A Room And They Oxygenate It, By Their Very Being There's Fresh Air. Then There Are Those Who Come In With The Smell Of Death And They Suck The Life Out.

Filmmaking Is Something I Have To Do. It's Not Something I Particularly Want To Do.

Every Film I've Ever Worked On, And That Includes 'braveheart' And 'trainspotting,' I've Always Witnessed A Director Having A Breakdown. Every Director Will Have A Day, Without Exception, Where They Just Can't Do It Anymore, They Don't Know What To Say To Their Cameraman, Their Cast. It's The Sign Of Real, Physical Exhaustion.

I Find The World More Absurd Now Than I Did When I Was A Kid.

I Know Virtually No One Of My Age Who Can Remember A Hug, Or A Smile From Their Father, Or A 'let's Go Play Football.'
