The only thing that gets me back to directing is good scripts.

History opens up new worlds to film-makers all the time.

Akira Kurosawa is the pictorial William Shakespeare of our time.

I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming 'War Horse' on Dartmoor.

It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.

Television has a different biorhythm than movies. I love the biorhythm of TV.

I have made almost as many films in England as I have in America. I will come back to England again and again.
