I like reflecting the culture I understand best, spotting the idiosyncrasies of British people and revealing them to an audience in a way that amuses is what I find fun.

The world would be a duller place without Moulin Rouge.

I never was a great Thatcher fan, and it wasn't a sad day in my life when she resigned.

To do a blockbuster that isn't stressful is a delight.

I think we all have a selfish gene which rises to the top, sometimes. But then we're also all capable of a sudden magnanimity.

It's funny how a film about a murderous old English toff can help you.

Other people have a much better idea of what I might do than I.
