To be honest I live among the English and have always found them to be very honest in their business dealings. They are noble, hard-working and anxious to do the right thing. But joy eludes them, they lack the joy that the Irish have.

There's something about the Irish that is remarkable.

People who are good at film have a relationship with the camera.

Now I have begun to get interested in films and I just hope that people start becoming interested in me to do more films.

Even when they have nothing, the Irish emit a kind of happiness, a joy.

Every generation is obsessed with the decade before they were born.

Once you've done one style, you leave it for a while.
