In "The King's Speech," patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment, the third of September, 1939, where the aggressor is clear, the fight is clear, it hasn't become complicated over time.

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.

I began to think that if you're a stutterer, it's about inhabiting silence, emptiness, and nothingness.

I mean, we've all had those dreams where, you know, we try to cry out and our voice won't come.

The more uncompromisingly specific you are the more you end up touching the bigger universal truths.
