I was quite surprised how easily people wanted to pigeonhole things I've done.

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

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

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.

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.

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