Each brings his prejudices to the table. At first, she thinks he's a heathen and a barbarian. Then, he reminds her that her native England has invaded other countries, and the English believe their way is the only way. As they grow to understand each other, it becomes a love story.
I don't make movies because I love to act. I make movies because I like to make movies, and I like to be a part of that process.
They're not your movie star; they're not your big names. ... There's something about their work and their inner life that I just love and am so attracted to.
I just want to make movies. I really love movies. I want to be involved with them.
I don't really think I have the personality. I am not very external. I don't want to dance on the table and do impressions. So I think that the way I approach it is really loving story. That's my first love - the words. The words and the story and how to create images. I guess I come at that as a director. I think that's much more in my personality to be a director, so that's kind of informed my acting.

Every movie that I've had to really knock down the door for has been an enormous success for me. Not just like a financial success but a real personal success.
Every movie changes you. The process of making a film changes you.
It doesn't feel like a long time to me. My life is full. I have new priorities. I've been working a long time, so now I do movies for a different reason than I did for much of my career.
I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.
I think it works better with a woman, which is why I decided to do it, ... men know how to separate themselves from their child. Women lose that ability.
