As A First-time Director In America, I

I've Directed Bits Of Action And So I Know That It's Long And It's Very Detailed. Editing Action Is A Good Deal More Exciting Than Shooting Action. Shooting Action Is Very, Very Meticulous, It's Increments, Tiny Little Pieces.

Thank God I Don't Live In Los Angeles. I Think If You're There The Whole Time It Just Gets Out Of Proportion And You Lose Touch Completely With Reality.

I Deliberately, In A Way, Went For Something That Was A Huge Challenge And Was A Big Period Film. I Was Excited About The Canvas On Which I Could Tell The Story As Much As The Story Itself.

Now Im Back Home, Living In London, Running My Theater. I Just Want To Enjoy All That.

The Movies That Influenced Me Were Movies That Told Their Stories Through Pictures More Than Words.
