I Feel Very Much Ideologically,

I Know, That Trends And All Of Those Things And Formulae That Calculate What Audiences Want To See And What Audiences Don't Want To See And Various Other Demographic Demarcations Are The Eccentric And Ludicrous Prerogative Of Hollywood Studios. But Out There In The Real World - By Which I Mean The Rest Of The World Where We Make Truthful Organic Films, Independent Films Unimpeded By Interference - It's Not About All Those Sort Of Calculating What Is Commercial. It's About Wanting To Say Things And Saying Them In A Way That Will Get Through To People.

I Grew Up Looking At... Going To The Movies A Lot, As Much As They'd Let You. I Grew Up In Manchester In The North Of England In The '40s And '50s. I Saw A Lot Of Movies. They Were All Hollywood And British Movies. I Didn't See A Film That Wasn't In English Until I Was 17 When I Went To London To Be A Student.

I'm Developing The Stuff All The Time. There's A Film In My Head. I'm Imagining A Film.

But Films Should Be Voyeuristic. What Else Is A Film If You’re Not Snooping Into Somebody Else’s Lives?

I Wonder If I Would Have Been Capable Of Producing Anything If I Worked In A More Conventional Way With A Prewritten Script, Because I'm Of The Procrastinator Class.
