Films Are Made All Over The World

I Can't Negotiate And Collaborate With A Character To Create A Distilled Dramatic Investigation Of The Raw Material. I Need To Work With An Actor. That Stuff About Actors Who Stay In Character All The Time Is Nonsense.

I Wonder If I Would Have Been Capable Of Producing Anything If I Worked In A More Conventional Way With A Prewritten Script, Because I'm Of The Procrastinator Class.

I Am Very Happy To Be Part Of European And World Cinema As A British Filmmaker.

If I'm Ever Working On A Set And Anyone Talks About A Master Shot, I Say There Is No Master Shot. Before I Even Went To Film School, I Learned About Movies By Being In A British Feature Film, Where Everything Was Shot Master Shot, Mid-shot, Close-up. But I Reject The Idea Of A Master Shot. You Don't Shoot Everything Mechanically; You Find Imaginative Ways That Serve The Action.

Very Occasionally I Hire An Actor And Get It Wrong. The Actor Just Doesn't Trust The Process Or Me As Fully As I Thought They Would. In This Case, You Can Be Quite Sure That If An Actor Is Untrusting, It's Got Nothing To Do With Me Or The Process.
