You Can't Make A Movie

He's [constable] A Great Painter As Far As It Goes, But I Don't Think He's Remotely Interesting. Not Really. It's Very Pretty And It's Very Thorough, But It's Not Evocative, It's Not Dramatic, It Doesn't Do What Beethoven Does - It Doesn't Shake You Down To The Roots Of Your Soul, Which Turner Does. Constable Is Just Very Nice, Basically. And Moving On To Personality, Constable Was A Very Dull Character.

There Are Plenty Of Bad Actors And There Are Plenty Of Bad Directors. There Are Actors Who Will Always Be Bad And There Are Good Actors Who You Cry For Because They're Being Badly Directed Or The Material Isn't Good Enough.

I Make Films Because I Am Endlessly Fascinated By People. I'm Fascinated Immediately To Know About The Lives That Are Going On Around Me. That Is What Drives Me. And That Is Because Everybody Matters, Everybody Is There To Be Cared About, Everybody Is Interesting And Everybody Is The Potential Central Character In A Story. Judging People Is Not Acceptable.

I've Long Since Stopped Worrying About How I'm Portrayed In The Press Because Ultimately It's Not That Important. Everyone Who Knows Me Knows I Do What I Do With The Greatest Integrity.
