A country that fails to value its teachers, fails to value its future.

Film and the other creative industries are being transformed by digital technologies.

There is no education system in the world - none at all - that's better than its average teacher.

Most parliamentarians don't have a clue as regards the challenges or the opportunities the games industry faces.

I absolutely refuse to accept the fact that any country in the world goes into a kind of film-making crisis. What happens is they lose confidence, they lose focus and the young film-makers of any particular generation can very easily get lost in that mix. It's happened in Italy, happened in France, happened in the U.K. during my lifetime.

If it's not true, don't say it; if it's not right, don't do it.

A country that fails to value its teachers, fails to value its future.
