In The First Place, I'm Pretty Thorough

The Notion That Acting Is Simply About Intuitively Responding To Situations The Way You Feel Couldn't Be Farther Away From How I Ask Actors To Work.

My Job Apart From Anything Else Is To Build An Ensemble Composed Of Actors Who All Come From A Secure Place So That They Can All Work Together To Make The Film.

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 Delineation Between The Actor And His Part Is A Practical Matter. When The Camera Runs, You Want The Actor To Be The Character.

A Lot Of The Reasons That I'm Resistant To Making Films In The U.s. Have Nothing To Do With Not Doing A Film In Hollywood, But Rather To Do With What I'm Committed To Working On In The U.k. I Feel Very Committed To The British Film Industry And Infrastructure.
