But I think it's quite clear in my work that my orientation isn't political or doesn't come out of modern politics.

More quotes by Jane Campion
I think that three-act fundamentalism in film culture is a problem sometimes, because it's almost too obvious, or it's too expected. And it's not the only way to fill two hours, or to phrase things, or to order thoughts, or order ideas.
Jane Campion
I did this Super-8 film at art school called Tissues, this black comedy about a family whose father has been arrested for child molestation. I was absolutely thrilled by every inch of it, and would throw my projector in the back of my car and show it to anybody who would watch it.
Jane Campion
I think the whole tension about romanticism is the way it builds and builds, and the moment it's consummated, the tension's over.
Jane Campion
When I read Andrew Motion's biography, I wept. It's something about the purity of the story and how fresh it was because of the love letters Keats wrote.
Jane Campion
It's harder being a woman director because on the whole women don't have husbands or boyfriends who are willing to be wives
Jane Campion
Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm, where it's OK to fail - a kind of home, I suppose.
Jane Campion
When you first fall in love it's so thrilling, you can't wait to throw yourself away and make this new wonderful twosome.
Jane Campion
I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.
Jane Campion
I would love to see more women directors because they represent half of the population and gave birth to the whole world. Without them the rest [of the world] are not getting to know the whole story.
Jane Campion
So many actors are not open in front of the camera - they have a persona.
Jane Campion
The Piano ended up on television. Everything ends up there anyway.
Jane Campion
I don't belong to any clubs, and I dislike club mentality of any kind, even feminism - although I do relate to the purpose and point of feminism. More in the work of older feminists, really, like Germaine Greer.
Jane Campion
Only when you are relaxed can you see what's going on.
Jane Campion
Actual violence has no attraction for me at all.
Jane Campion
I have to admit that I had a lot of problems with poetry.
Jane Campion
In some ways Holy Smoke is about people's journey to the heart.
Jane Campion
And, I mean, I think poetry does need to be met to some extent, especially, I guess, 19th century poetry, and for me, it's just been so worth the effort. It's like I'm planting a garden in my head.
Jane Campion
What I have learned from my work up to now, is to try to be open, but also protect myself by not letting the good and the evil get too much importance.
Jane Campion
I feel that directors at times are like the janitors on the set. I am the secretary, I am the organizer, I am the maid, and I ask if they have eaten or rested. The best things are always out of your control. It's those moments that surpass the imagination that are thrilling.
Jane Campion
If you start with a good idea, you can encapsulate it in a phrase and explain it. I like high-concept films. Everyone can get hold of it. I don't think there's any harm in that at all.
Jane Campion
