Actors enjoy being treated as ordinary people.

I think I would say 'The King's Speech' is surprisingly funny, in fact the audiences in London, Toronto, LA, New York commented there's more laughter in this film than in most comedies, while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending.

If you look at Shakespeare's history plays, what the setting of monarchy allows is this extraordinary intensification of emotions and predicament.

I think the thumb print on the throat of many people is childhood trauma that goes unprocessed and unrecognized.

I think people enjoy finding out something genuinely new.

I think directors can become overly infatuated by gilt and gold, and the word "lavish" and everything being magnificent.

I have a yearning someday to do one of these huge juggernauts.
