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

I want to be remembered as a storyteller.

On my last day of shooting, I'd be happy to say 'Cut, it's a wrap' and fall off the twig.

I just love biography, and I'm fascinated by people who have shifted our destinies or our points of view.

I'm a passionate trade unionist.

I prefer fact to fiction.

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