I have grown up loving Shakespeare.

I never studied anything about film technique in school. Eventually, I realized that cinema and theater are not so different: from the gut to the heart to the head of a character is the same journey for both.

Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film.
Ralph Fiennes

He's really sort of the devil. He's completely emotionally detached. He has no empathy. You find that in psychopaths. It's about power with Voldemort. It's an aphrodisiac for him. Power makes him feel alive.

Unicef's education initiative does not seek to impose, but to initiate and integrate. It does, however, aim to address the huge bias towards education for boys at the expense of girls in so many cultures.

God is not anything human. God is a force, God is chaos, God is unknown. God is terror and enlightenment at the same time.

I was only interested in my scene, and I had to go through thousands and thousands of other scenes. I got my scene and I read it many, many, many, many, many times. That was my research.

It's not great if someone gives you sort of bland praise without giving you clear direction and say, This is good, let's try it like this. I have worked with someone who seemed quite inarticulate and just would say, That's good, that's good.

I guess I'd love to be surprised by something I had never thought of.

When I first filmed things, they were always slightly awkward.

It's great to be on a set where there's time and there's focus and there's also a kind of adrenaline thrill on a set where people are saying: We have to get this shot, we've have to go, we've got to move on!

I went out to Mount Kilimanjaro, which I thought was very beautiful, but there were a lot of people there.

Having gone through editing process, I can see that in actor's faces there's point where they're not managing their performance and that's, I think, the best place to be. You've done the homework, you've learned the lines, at that point you just sort of let it out.

The actor shouldn't edit themselves or be anxious. And the actors that I admire are always the ones who are inventive and their imaginative life in free-willing. It's a director's job to go, No here, don't do that, go there.

One of the things that binds us as a family is a shared sense of humor.

Most films are rooted in a book or a comic strip, but I don't go out there saying I want to do adaptations.
