If you read Keats's poems, they're often full of doubts and anxieties. They can be quite tough.

More quotes by Jane Campion
My musical knowledge is so bad it's embarrassing. When composers discuss music with someone as primitive as myself, they have to talk about it in terms of senses and emotion, rather than keys and tempo.
Jane Campion
I love it when actors come to you with a problem and you have to listen. You'd like them to just get on with it, but it often means that there's a problem with the script.
Jane Campion
There are some things that are real, that you can see, that you can observe, like the moon, and grass and things. But for ideas to become real, they have to be played on your senses.
Jane Campion
I have to admit that I had a lot of problems with poetry.
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
It's a luxury to be able to tell a long form story. I love novels, and I love to have a long relationship with characters.
Jane Campion
That's just how I see things on a base level: there's so much going on. Or at least I like to have that feeling. It's part of being interested in notions of reality apart from storytelling. I don't know if it has something to do with having an art school education, which makes you aware of the way visuals speak, or makes you trust them more.
Jane Campion
Actual violence has no attraction for me at all.
Jane Campion
There was a big drive when I was at art school to make you aware of the economy of meaning - after all, this was still during the tail end of minimalism. Being responsible for everything you put in your picture, and being able to defend it. Keeping everything clear around you so you know what is operating. To open the wound and keep it clean.
Jane Campion
The Piano ended up on television. Everything ends up there anyway.
Jane Campion
But I think it's quite clear in my work that my orientation isn't political or doesn't come out of modern politics.
Jane Campion
So many actors are not open in front of the camera - they have a persona.
Jane Campion
This is the first generation to grow up on Thatcher - it's a different ethos. It's money minded, and it's the cult of yourself. Now that's fine, except when it falls down, and you can't achieve your goals - through high unemployment, through the fact that you probably need inherited money to get anywhere.
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
I think if it's interesting, it's interesting, and if it's not, it's not working.
Jane Campion
In some ways Holy Smoke is about people's journey to the heart.
Jane Campion
To deny women directors, as I suspect is happening in the States, is to deny the feminine vision.
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
One of the things we learn in movies directed by men is what the 'fantasy woman' is. What we learn in movies directed by women is what real women are about. I don't think that men see things wrong and women right, just that we do see things differently.
Jane Campion
