You step forward and make it real for a start. You choose a sensible moment in history. Funnily enough, England was bankrupt and the moment is the death of Richard The Lionheart...

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

A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.

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

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

Everyone sniggered because I was going to do a sandal and toga movie. But I knew exactly how to do it and I know how to make Robin Hood.

I think there's nothing worse than inertia. You can inert and study your navel and gradually you'll fall off the chair. I think the key is to keep flying.

I think if I'm going to do a science fiction, I'm going to go down a new path that I want to do.

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

Some people like to do everything always the same thing. That's another way: To do the same thing.

I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
