I've made movies that cost less than one car chase.

When I drive through a field, I want to see green grass sometimes, and I don't want to see black and white.

You freeze with the number of opportunities given to you and just decide to do nothing at all.

You've got to work. You've got to want an audience to sit forward in their chairs sometimes, rather than sit back and be bombarded with images.

Children make you confront your own childhood. Which I think is common. Suddenly you're remembering your own parents as parents, not to mention the fact that you're confronted by them as grandparents. So you also have that terrible shock, a mirror image of your own. You suddenly seem to be so helpless in the face of young children. And you think, "How did you ever bring up me?"

I've directed bits of action and so I know that it's long and it's very detailed. Editing action is a good deal more exciting than shooting action. Shooting action is very, very meticulous, it's increments, tiny little pieces.

Now Im back home, living in London, running my theater. I just want to enjoy all that.
