It's Not Easy To Take

My Personal Problem Is That I Take The Business Of Film-making So Seriously That I Find It Very Difficult To Relax.

I Have A Problem With Porsches. They're Wonderful Cars, But I Know I Could Never Live With One. Somehow, The Typical Porsche People-and I Wish Them No Ill-are Not, I Feel, My Kind Of People. I Don't Go Around Saying That Porsches Are A Pile Of Dung, But I Do Know That Psychologically I Couldn't Handle Owning One.

We Haven't Made Any Particular Decision [on Maigret], I Haven't Been Asked If I Want To Carry On With It. All These Things Are A Matter Of Whether You Feel As Though The Idea Is Developing And Whether It's Still Interesting To Play.

I'm More Critical Of The Films I Make Than Anyone Else.

I Can Be Reasonably Funny And Light-hearted When I'm In The Company Of Good Friends, But I'm Not A Jokesmith. I Tend To Be Quite Serious.
