I don't really enjoy filming.

At the moment, my mother is the only one left in Glasgow, although it's certainly my home.

I'm not fond of any of my films in an intimate way, but Gregory's Girl would be number 4 on my list.

The movie business is very much like that: people in authority making purely emotional decisions instead of interesting rational ones.

My two elder sisters married Englishmen and went abroad.

Perhaps naively I thought people understand what humor was, that it was invented by the human race to cope with the dark areas of life, problems and terrors.

I'd made these experimental films but I thought the major chore of a filmmaker was to relate to actors.
