Quotes
"One of the great things about directors is how collegial we feel with each other. We share huge amounts - I get other directors in to see my work all the time and they do the same with me. It's a very warm and generous group of people."
"When I made
Billy Elliot, people asked me, 'Oh, did you want to be a dancer when you were young, then?' I didn't even like dance before I made the film. 'Do you come from the north-east?' No, Somerset. 'Is it based on someone?' No. We made it up. We just made it up. The act of making something up seems to be very difficult these days."
"I get frustrated about it because they say, 'How can a man talk about women?' I say, 'Steven Spielberg didn't need to be an alien to talk about E.T. You don't need to be a dog to direct Lassie.' It seems to be a denial of the process of imagination, which is a posh word for 'guesswork.'" [on 'The Hours']
"They never met. We shot Meryl first, then Julianne, then Nicole. The first time they got together was on the
Oprah Winfrey show and talked about cornflakes." [on '
The Hours']
