You feel your game's raised by working with the best people.

Never give up. You only get one life. Go for it!

If you're doing well, you're a target, nobody's interested in you except how you can be of use to them.

You finish a movie and you think, there, you've done it, really well, or best you can. But if you watch it, you see it was just bollocks.

Always have an answer - even if you change your mind five minutes later.

When I meet a couple, I'm always interested to know if they have been together for a long time, or how loyal they are, because I know that will impact on how much I'm prepared to trust them.

Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.
