"There's only one thing more embarrassing than an actor with a gun: a British actor with a gun. Ridiculous."
"All my films, up to and including The House of Mirth, were made with very small budgets and modest intentions. We all started out at the BFI. There was me, Bill Douglas, Derek Jarman, Sally Potter, Peter Greenaway. It was all modest, but all those people had a voice in a way that people haven't today."
