Quotes

"It creeps up on you and becomes an obsession. It comes out of watching a million movies."; "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."
