I watched tons of archive footage of princess Margaret and listened to the music she loved; that was really immersive and brilliant.

That external struggle mirrors the struggle of this life force of energy that [princess Margaret] was.

I started to really enjoy the fact that [princess] Margaret was an exhibitionist. Even on a day-to-day basis, Margaret's costumes were always so much more dramatic and bold than Elizabeth's were.

People are so much more fascinated by the royal family generally than in England.

I really enjoyed stepping into that side of [princess Margaret] and being silly and naughty and fun.

I would argue [princess] Margaret is the tragic figure of the century.

My dad is a big extrovert - he's a doctor - but he always loved [William] Shakespeare and he took us to tons of theater.

At the same time, [princess Margaret] had a fragility and an insecurity in who she was and her position, because her sister had always got the education ever since David [Edward VIII] abdicated.

[Princess Margaret] was always trying to radicalize things.

I watched her do speeches, but the only footage we could find of [princess] Margaret was archive footage, which was of her public presentation of herself.

[Queen Elizabeth] is just the granny queen! She's our granny queen who shakes people's hands!

If there was one weapon he had against these savages, it was not acknowledging their existence.

When I was a kid looking at pictures of the Sphynx, and the Pyramids, and different tribes in Africa, all of that stuck with me, and I always wanted to see those things and meet those people.

What I like about their films is that you actually feel the momentum of whatever they're shooting. So, if someone's falling out a window, it gives the opportunity to show what that might feel like.

I live my own life and nurse my own wounds. It's not the best way to live. But it's the way I am.

Sunday comes after Saturday? Weird.

Face your fears and stop allowing the mind to hold you captive.

Excuse me you're a hell of a guy You know I really got a thing for American guys

Education is not simply to learn to read and write. It's emancipation. It makes you free.
