Films Are Made All Over The World

I Do Not Make Films Which Are Prescriptive, And I Do Not Make Films That Are Conclusive. You Do Not Walk Out Of My Films With A Clear Feeling About What Is Right And Wrong. They're Ambivalent. You Walk Away With Work To Do. My Films Are A Sort Of Investigation. They Ask Questions . . .. Sometimes I Hear That Some [hollywood] Studio Is Interested In Me. Then They Discover That This Is The Guy Who Works With No Script, That There Is No Casting Discussion, No Interference, That I Have The Final Cut, And That Does It.

What I Do Is To Collaborate With Each Actor And Work One-on-one To Create A Character. And That Is A Matter Of Huge Complexity And Is A Combination Of A Great Deal Of Discussion And A Lot Of Practical Work. It Involves A Lot Of Consideration For The Real People Out There, And All Kinds Of Sources Of Real People. The Result Is The Character. But I'm Not Supposed To Talk About What It Is We Do, Because It's Nobody's Business.

I Discover What My Film Is By Embarking On The Journey Of Making It.

I Think Michael Caine Is A Perfectly Good Actor But It's Obvious He's Not Going To Be In One Of My Films.

The Reason My Films Work Is Because Every Actor On Set Is Very Secure. They're Able To Fly.
