In Those Days, The Early 1980s, Tv

I'm Trying To Write Something In Which You Know That It's All About Sex But You Never See Any.

An Inability To Handle Language Is Not The Same Thing As Stupidity.

One Of The Things I Find About Getting Older Is That I Seem To Get Louder, More Voluble; That I Constantly Have To Walk Around Repressing My Vitality.

. . . It Is True That Language And Forward Movement In The Cinema Are Jolly Hard To Reconcile. It's A Very, Very, Difficult Thing To Do. . . . There Is Still A Place In The Cinema For Movies That Are Driven By The Human Face, And Not By Explosions And Cars And Guns And Action Sequences . . . There's Such A Thing As Action And Speed Within Thought Rather Than Within A Ceaseless Milkshake Of Images.

Insofar As I'm Good At Directing, It's Because I've Become A Writer.
