But Gladiator is one of my favourite adventures because I really loved going into the world. I loved creating the world to the degree where you could almost smell it.

I also love Australian movies. I love Muriel's Wedding - I've seen in six times. Baz Luhrmann's best movie is strictly ballroom... without question.

The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.

My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.

I think going into space would be like going deep into the ocean, like 5,000 meters down. When you go down that far, it's just awfully black. There's not much there except mud and some particles. I imagine space would be a similar thing. The only difference is you're hoping to bump into some sort of intelligent extraterritorial being.

I went to Art College and during the summer I made a movie with my brother. I got hold of a little camera, wrote a script and dragged my brother, Tony, out of bed to help me (which he did not like), so that we could shoot a film every day for six weeks. It was made for £65 and it was called Boy On A Bicycle.

Never be put off by anything because failure teaches you something.

You've got to be able to know someone really well to be able to have a row and then also walk away from it and not have it matter, especially in this business. That doesn't mean to say we have many rows but I think the nearest thing to a row would be just flatly disagreeing with something .

When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.

And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.

I believe all of us only use one tenth of our brain. I know people who use one per cent only!

You don't really know what you're going to get until you're actually in Abbey Road. That's where I did all the music, in The Beatles' place.

Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.

Audiences are less intrigued, honestly, by battle. They're more intrigued by human relations. If you're making a film about the trappings of the period, and you're forgetting that human relationships are the most engaging part of the storytelling process, then you're in trouble.

I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.
