In My View, The Only Way To

I Love Different Themes, Different Venues, Different Movies. I Love To Jump About And Tackle Different Subjects. I Have No Intellectual Master Plan.

Well, Not Totally Because Over The Years I've Probably Done 2,700 Commercials. So, I'm Always Ticking. And In A Way That Was A Huge Advantage Because I Was Able To Take My Time Choosing My Film Subjects Because I Wasn't Relying On The Fear Of Not Being Able To Work.

But Gladiator Is One Of My Favourite Adventures Because I Really Loved Going Into The World. I Loved Creating The World To The Degree Where You Could Almost Smell It.

And I Maintain Good Relationships With All The Studios So I've Never Been Bullied Into Any Cut, Frankly.

I'm Not Criticizing Hollywood Because I Work There, I Partly Live There. But I'm Saying This Is The Way It Is, Commerce Is Taking Over Art. Commerce Has Become The Most Important Thing In The Film Industry. Hollywood Is An Industry, It's Not An Art Form, Therefore They Have To Address The Bottom Line. But In A Way It's Sad When You Get A Remake, Isn't It?
