"If you have distance from the events, then your story can work as an analogy or parable, rather than its literal narrative."
"To what degree are historians chroniclers of the truth and to what degree are they just novelists, frankly?"
"I don't want to direct. I have no directing ambition whatsoever. And as long as I meet filmmakers like Tom Hooper, Stephen Frears, and others who allow that collaboration, I can't see why I would ever want to direct."
"Firms are a bit concerned about things like oil prices and US growth but actually the change (in firms expectations) is quite small so I think broadly theyre looking for more of the same."
"I wrote 'Hereafter' quickly and without mapping it out too much or being too schematic. As an exercise, I think that was incredibly important."
