I'm suffering from oxygen deprivation. It's overwhelming watching your career go by.

I like to direct the same way that I like to be directed.

I was forty the first time I directed. I formed a company in 1967, looking to the future. My dad taught me that whatever you do, do it well. Be the best at what you can do for that particular job in life. That always resonated with me.

When I look back on my life, I don't have regrets about what I didn't do. If I'd become a musician, it could have ruined my life.

I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we - we own this country. We - we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.

There are two kinds of people in this world. 'I' people and 'we' people. I've always tried to be a 'we' person.

I don't believe in pessimism.
