My father was the quintessential husband and dad.

I lived in a country where I couldn't live where I wanted to live. I lived in a country where I couldn't go where I wanted to eat. I lived in a country where I couldn't get a job, except for those put aside for people of my colour or caste.

I want my great-granddaughter to have a fairly good understanding of the world in which I lived for 81 years and also the world before I came into it - all the way back a hundred thousand years, to the beginning of our species.

You don't have to become something you're not to be better than you were.

An appreciable number of directors have shifted to lower-cost films, allowing them to be satisfied with a more modest return.

In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.

I defend myself by improving myself.
