The Reason My Films Work

If I'm Ever Working On A Set And Anyone Talks About A Master Shot, I Say There Is No Master Shot. Before I Even Went To Film School, I Learned About Movies By Being In A British Feature Film, Where Everything Was Shot Master Shot, Mid-shot, Close-up. But I Reject The Idea Of A Master Shot. You Don't Shoot Everything Mechanically; You Find Imaginative Ways That Serve The Action.

I Think Michael Caine Is A Perfectly Good Actor But It's Obvious He's Not Going To Be In One Of My Films.

Life Is About Luck And It's About Circumstances And Socioeconomic Conditions And All The Rest Of It, But You Know, You Can Also Make Choices. It's About Spirit And Generosity And All The Other Things, Too.

It Creeps Up On You And Becomes An Obsession. It Comes Out Of Watching A Million Movies.

Independent Filmmaking Has Always Been There And It's Not To Be Forgotten.
