I try not to be proud. I try to actively attack pride.

I would like to find a way to embrace what Led Zeppelin did, in filmmaking.

I find children inspiring. The way they look at the world. The magical world they live in, to me, is inspiring.

I really think it's important that my beliefs don't impinge upon what you get from the movie. It's your opinion that matters and it's far more interesting than mine.

I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.

Most of my favourite moments in film have been when I've had an opportunity to say something from scratch, something original, whether I jotted down a few lines or it came out in improvisation.

You aren't a true internationalist until you've supplied weapons to kill your own countrymen.
