Making a film is so hard that if you don't have your main actors going along with the ride with the rest of the crew it can make your life very difficult.

Have a go. Anybody can do it.

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

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

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

Film-making is a physically hard job.

I turn on the TV sometimes, start watching something and think: 'This seems quite good, a bit familiar.' Then I realise … It's one of my movies. It's a pretty odd feeling.
