But in marketing, the familiar is everything, and that is controlled by the studio. That is reaching its apogee now.

I was very glad later when I was directing that I wasn't in the hands of a cinematographer and hoping that he would do it well. I would know what he was doing, and we could discuss how that scene would look.

What makes God laugh is people who make plans.

Years ago I had a house in Sussex, it was like Arcadia, with an old Victorian bridge, a pond and the Downs.

Marketing is a very good thing, but it shouldn't control everything. It should be the tool, not that which dictates.

In life, we all learn from everyone.

You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me.
