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

I passionately believe in heroes, but I think the world has changed its criteria in determining who it describes as a hero.

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 am passionately opposed to capital punishment, and I have been all my life.

I believe we need heroes...we need certain people who we can measure our own shortcomings by.

At my age the only problem is with remembering names. When I call everyone darling, it has damn all to do with passionately adoring them, but I know I'm safe calling them that. Although, of course, I adore them too.

I can't write, I can't paint, I don't compose.
