What I felt at that time - we're talking about '61 - was that I couldn't remember seeing a film that reflected the age we were living in.

It takes courage to stay young, to make your enthusiasms work for you. Don't let anyone drag you down.

I always wanted to design for films.

I'm an incurable romantic, and 'Casablanca''s one of the most romantic pictures I've ever seen - the combination of Bogart and Bergman is just magical.

I have never been sorry to see my sets being struck, provided they are well photographed. They're not works of art but part of making a film.

My mother and father were interested in the arts.
