“Personally I am very pessimistic. But when, for instance, one of my staff has a baby you can't help but bless them for a good future.

So with those conflicting thoughts in mind, I think about what kind of films I should be making.”

“There are some words that once spoken will split the world in two. There would be the life before you breathed them and then the altered life after they'd been said.
