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

I was once described by one of my critics as an aesthetic fascist.

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

A Great Movie Evolves when Everybody Has the Same Vision in Their Heads.

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.

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

Well, if you ask any filmmaker how they got into it, everyone came a different route. Ive never actually watched another director work.
