Independent Filmmaking Has Always Been There And

I Think It’s Important That Nobody Forgets That Although Hollywood Commercially Dominates The World Cinema, In Fact What Comes Out Of The Filmmaking Here Is Only A Tiny Slice Out Of The Massive Amount Of Operation That Goes On Around The World.

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.

You Can't Make A Movie About The Artist Without Shooting Outdoors.

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.

Film-makers Should Remain True To Their Principles And Never Compromise, There Is A Real Revival In The British Film Industry But There Is A Danger That We Will Become Colonial Servants Of Hollywood. We Need To Maintain Our Own Integrity.
