I've Walked Out Of Films.

I've Walked Out Of Films. But For Every Film I've Ever Walked Out Of, I've Probably Walked Out Of 500 Plays.

I Really Think People Are Greatly Stimulated And Enriched By Experiencing In Film Just As We Can From Novels And Other Art, Experiencing Things That Resonate With What Our Lives Are About. I Think People Really Want To Know... Want To Share, Want To Have The Stimulus To Think And Care About The Way They Live Their Lives, The Way They Relate To Other People, Their Aspirations, Their Hopes, Et Cetera.

For Me The Journey Of Making A Film Is A Journey Of Discovery As To What That Film Is. I Mean What I Do Is What Other Artists Do, Painters, Novelists, People That Make Music, Poets, Sculptors, You Name It. It's About Starting Out And Working With The Material And Discovering Through Making, Working With The Material The Artifact.

The Whole Thing About Making Films In An Organic Film On Location Is That It's Not All About Characters, Relationships And Themes, It's Also About Place And The Poetry Of Place. It's About The Spirit Of What You Find, The Accidents Of What You Stumble Across.

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.
