I'm not making films for middle aged journalists, who are mostly men. I make films that hopefully entertain people, where they can learn something about life.
Nigel ColeAmongst my friends, I am known as the most cynical person they know - I'm incredibly cynical. I don't believe in God, I don't believe in the supernatural, I don't believe in anything! And I'm terribly cynical, and somehow or other, all three of my films and much of my television work has been rather sentimental, and 'heartwarming'.
Nigel ColeI think your 20s are the hardest part of life. I mean, everyone goes on about how hard it is to be a teenager, but actually I think itโs tougher to be in your 20s because youโre expected to be a grownup and expected to earn your own living and be successful and I think you feel like a kid still.
Nigel ColeI can only do it if there's humour, wit, comedy and drama. If you can get audiences laughing and then suddenly turn them to tears... it's a weird way of making a living making people cry, but I think it's very exciting to be able to send audiences on a rollercoaster ride.
