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

Movies which set out to be 'commercial' usually have an artificial look about them-a certain waxlike quality. They allow for no failure, no moment of mistake.

Children's finger-painting came under the arts, but movies didn't.

Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.

They think something's gone wrong, but in Don't Look Now, for instance, one scene was made by a mistake. It's the scene where Donald Sutherland goes to look for the policeman who's investigating the two women.

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