I like filming in the UK - I'll sleep in my own bed, which I'm really happy about.

It's not easy to strap yourself down to a desk and bash on a keyboard when you know you can direct lots of films, because directing films is fun and interactive and gregarious. Writing isn't.

We're not unique. We're quite volatile as individuals, but that doesn't work exponentially when we are together. Relationships are about eating humble pie.

My principal job is to make interesting and entertaining films, and I'm not proud of which format or which particular technique I use. I just wanted the film to look good.

I'm not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.

His voice was cloves and nightingales, it took us to spice markets in the Celebs, we drifted with him on a houseboat beyond the Coral Sea. We were like cobras following a reed flute.

Between the difficulties, one hides the opportunity

The Great Spirit Chief who rules above all will smile upon this land... and this time the Indian race is waiting and praying.

I have a blessed life. I really do. I have a great family, a great daughter, I love life, I love living, I love people. I love all the blessings that God's given me.

I don't think secrets are a bad thing. I think there's this idea that everything needs to be transparent in order for it to be free.

I truly feel that food is a celebration of life. It's the most important, most valuable gift that God gave humans.
