When You Make A Film You Usually

Burt Lancaster Was Largely Responsible For Me Becoming A Director.

I Have To Have A Working Knowledge Of Light, And Optics, Film Emulsions And Their Properties, And Lenses, Otherwise I Can't Create The Shoots That Are The Vocabulary Of The Films. But It Is Not Necessary For Me To Be A Cameraman, I Can Hire A Cameraman.

I Didn't Grow Up Thinking Of Movies As Film, Or Art, But As Movies, Something To Do On A Saturday Afternoon.

What I Really Want To Do Is Produce. There Isn’t Much Patience With A Slow Developing Story Line Anymore.

My Films Ought To Be Judged On Whether They're Entertaining Or Good As Films, But Not On The Political View Necessarily. I'm Trying To Be Morally Responsible And No More. I Don't Have An Agenda I'm Trying To Push.
