I Think Michael Caine Is A Perfectly

The Way An Actor Is Trained Doesn't Ultimately Have Much Bearing On My Work. I'm Interested In The Actor As Artist.

The Reason My Films Work Is Because Every Actor On Set Is Very Secure. They're Able To Fly.

But Films Should Be Voyeuristic. What Else Is A Film If You’re Not Snooping Into Somebody Else’s Lives?

You Will Find Hardly Any Improvising On Camera Anywhere In My Films. It's Very Structured, But It's All Worked Out From Elaborate Improvisations Over A Long Period, As You Know.

If A Film Or Any Piece Of Work Doesn't Entertain, It Fails - And That Is Using The Word Entertain Literally, Meaning It Holds You There And You Become Absorbed By It So That You Don't Walk Away And Get Bored And So On.
