I Can't Help Being Christian

My Grandfather Had Come Over As A Member Of The Czarist Army, To Make An Arms Deal With The British Government. Being A Blinkered Military Man, He Was Unaware That The Russian Revolution Was About To Take Place.

My Parents Believed In Education And Economic Security, And I Thank Them For It. Because I Think That's Part Of What's Made My Life Stable. It Was Instilled In Me. You Have To Be Able To Pay Your Bills. You Do Not Get Into Debt. And I Never Have Been.

When I Was Making Films [early In My Career] There Were Very, Very Few Female Directors, And There Were Certainly No Women On Set, Which Made Taking One's Clothes Off All The More Difficult.

I Think Still It Is Very Fine Not To Want Children. There Are Far Too Many People In The World. It Is My Contribution To Ecology.

I Believe In Meditation - It's A Good Tool To Centre Yourself, But Unfortunately, I'm Too Lazy To Do It. It's Very Hard Work, And I Prefer To Watch 'nothing To Declare' On Tv!
