Film-makers Should Remain True To Their Principles

Some Of My Favorite Movies Are Hollywood Movies. Hollywood Is Part Of The Cinematic Spectrum. I Nurture A Healthy Love-hate Relationship With Hollywood.

I Can't Really See How Anybody Could Be Particularly Optimistic About The Future In General Because We Are Destroying The Planet.

I Take No Notice Of The Trends. It Has Never Concerned Me At All. My Job Is To Deal With What I Want To Deal With And Reach An Audience By Doing So.

People Have Been Very Resistant To Giving Me More Than The Standard Amount Of Money. So I Keep Making Films On A Similar Scale. Which Is Fine, But Also Frustrating.

A Lot Of The Reasons That I'm Resistant To Making Films In The U.s. Have Nothing To Do With Not Doing A Film In Hollywood, But Rather To Do With What I'm Committed To Working On In The U.k. I Feel Very Committed To The British Film Industry And Infrastructure.
