I find that after a screening, people really want to come and tell you what they feel.

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.

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

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.

Actors enjoy being treated as ordinary people.

I think people enjoy finding out something genuinely new.

A British villain never loses their sense of humour.
