Some Actors - You Work With Them

It Doesn't Matter How Much Faith You Have Or Don't Have [in Aliens]. I Just Don't Buy The Idea That We're Alone. There's Got To Be Some Form Of Life Out There.

It Goes Back A Long Way. I Wanted To Make Tristan + Isolde As My Second Movie. My First Movie Was The Duellists. And I Was Standing In A Very Romantic Part Of France Looking Around Me Thinking, "my God, This Would Be Perfect For Tristan," And To Cut A Long Story Short It Never Happened Because I Did Alien Instead.

I Went To Art College And During The Summer I Made A Movie With My Brother. I Got Hold Of A Little Camera, Wrote A Script And Dragged My Brother, Tony, Out Of Bed To Help Me (which He Did Not Like), So That We Could Shoot A Film Every Day For Six Weeks. It Was Made For £65 And It Was Called Boy On A Bicycle.

Once You Crack The Script, Everything Else Follows.

I Also Love Australian Movies. I Love Muriel's Wedding - I've Seen In Six Times. Baz Luhrmann's Best Movie Is Strictly Ballroom... Without Question.
