I didn't think Comfort and Joy was going to be a box-office smash.

It's easier for me to get three times the amount of money I really want.

It means that if they misunderstood Comfort and Joy, they misunderstood my other films.

I went to the Glasgow Youth Theatre and they just let me in. But I was so shy that I was there for about six weeks without actually introducing myself.
