Faith is in the eye of the beholder.

To be honest the work that a producer does is work that I've done for most of my working life. It's work that I started to do, for example, when I worked with Sally Potter on Orlando. We developed it together over five years.

Eleven years is a great length of time to prepare a movie, it would be wonderful to have 11 years of funded preparation.

I live a soldier's life when I'm working. That's how it feels to me, except I've got a slightly greater chance of survival.

I think there's a dishonorable tradition in Hollywood to give the idea, particularly to children, that evil characters are dark.

Well the truth is, everybody, when they die, leaves a void that cannot be filled.

The last time I did anything like this [special powers] was with the Narnia film with two swords, the same but different.
