How can you look at the galaxy and not feel insignificant?

There is an access to... people can now afford very high quality technology, where you can have a very good reproduction of a large picture on a large screen at home. People go out less. There's all kinds of reasons. I don't know that it's going to stay that way but, I think also, we've got to start making better movies.

If we had written Tristan in the true vernacular the audience would have been very small. It wouldn't have even been Shakespearean. It would have been so Celtic you wouldn't understand what was going on.

And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.

I think if I'm going to do a science fiction, I'm going to go down a new path that I want to do.

I also love Australian movies. I love Muriel's Wedding - I've seen in six times. Baz Luhrmann's best movie is strictly ballroom... without question.

My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.
