I've Always Loved America.

I Do Believe Some People Can Naturally Act And Don't Know It.

I Always Think That If You Look At Anyone In Detail, You Will Have Empathy For Them Because You Recognize Them As A Human Being, No Matter What They've Done.

I'm Never Going Back To The Past. It Is Like When I Am Driving - I Never Like To Do Those Routes That Take You Backwards And Make You Go The Long Way. I Always Like To Do The Shortcuts And Go Forward.

I Wonder Whether My Bleak-o-meter Is Set Differently From Other People's. I Have Such Passion For What I Do That I Can't See It As Bleak. When People Use That Word, Or “grim” Or “gritty,” I Just Think, “oh, Come On, Look A Bit Deeper.” My Films Don't Give You An Easy Ride. I Can See That. The Sense I Get Is That People Have Quite A Physical Experience With Them. They Feel Afterwards That They've Really Been Through Something.

Interestingly, I Never Thought Id Do An Adaptation. Ive Also Been Quite Against Them. I Think Trying To Translate One Medium To Another Is Wrong. I Never Really Felt That Books Fitted Into Film. Generally People Are Disappointed, Arent They?
