My audience is comprised of three categories. The first category contains the people who decide after the first five minutes that they've made a mistake and leave. The second category is the people who give the film a chance and leave annoyed after 40 minutes. The third category includes the people that watch the whole film and return to see it again. If I'm able to persuade 33% of the audience to stay, then I can say that I've succeeded.

Cinema is dead, long live cinema.

I am Welsh by birth, English by education, and European by nature.

I don't think we've seen any cinema yet. I think we've seen 100 years of illustrated text.

We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.

Every historian has a vested interest. "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" was not about the Roman but the British empire. What price the truth?

For so many filmmakers, cinema is a means to an end.
