I'm always aiming for some magic in films if I can find a mystical quality either in a song or in a moment or a character's intention.

Just film what's there, trust what came before, one hour before, and make it easy.

I look back, and I've got a couple of films, and I'm happy.

I respect the British a lot - their history, their past, their culture. I think it's beautiful, what they have with the monarchy.

As a director, try to be humble and not to overdo it, not overcoverage and over-covering the scene.

In a career, when you hit 40 and you've done a lot of this and that, you want to try some new things. I feel like that as a director, too, from one film to the other.
