I'm a pluralist. I've always argued that as many different films as possible should be made.

I'm always afraid someone's going to tap me on the shoulder one day and say, 'Back to North London'.

I've always been completely autocratic. I've never learned to be diplomatic or democratic.

Most directors have little lists in their heads of people they really want to work with.

If you'd been where I'd been... if you'd seen the things I'd seen!... you... you'd be me... Or someone following me around.

The films that I do tend to polarise people's views.

It doesn't matter what the technology is - no one will watch a Peter Greenaway film anyway.
