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.

If you've ever seen the film In Which We Serve, but it was about a destroyer in the Mediterranean.

I do not have a brain that I long for in dealing with matters of which I am ignorant, that don't come within my ken and a rationale, a reason, and argument and so on, and I can't do that and I'm not in that bracket at all.

In other words, if you - the cost of promoting movies, the advertising and promotion of a movie, the budget is almost as large as the cost of the movie.

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

Art is not an elitist gift for a few select people. Art is for everyone.

I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.
