I prefer fact to fiction.

And that is how I employ my time in cinema, saying things about people who I think have touched us in terms of our value judgement and by example.

I think it is obscene that we should believe that we are entitled to end somebody's life, no matter what that person has supposedly done or not done.

There's nothing more important in making movies than the screenplay.

And there are certain things, and they are evident, obviously, without being boring about it, but I mean obviously, the two evident and easy ones being Gandhi and Cry Freedom, there are things which I do care about very much and which I would like to stand up and be counted.

Pier Angeli was in the movie called Sea of Sand that Guy Green directed where this idea came up.

What I am sad about is that there is now, in America, no equivalent to the art circuit.
