Film is not a national business. It's international. And its centre will always be Hollywood.
From Eric Fellner
If there's a British film in the marketplace that is successful on a worldwide basis - whether it's 'A Room with a View,' 'Four Weddings' or 'The Full Monty' - money follows, and everyone tries to emulate that success.
You can't develop a great car and sell it as an independent. You can develop a great car and make a deal with Mercedes.
I think it would be a good thing in the creative community if there was less embarrassment of this word 'commercial' because that's how you make a business.
For us in England, the relative value of the pound against the dollar, that has a huge impact on how easy it is to get our films made in the U.K.
The more you keep costs down, the more freedom you have creatively.
My theory is, I don't know how long it's going to be, five or ten years, there will be only two ways to see a movie, and that will either be on your computer through your TV screen or in the cinema, end of story. There will be no DVD; that's it - simple.
Technical problems are like gremlins. They come and go.
It's fantastic to see 'Les Miserables' become the top-grossing film at the U.K. box office.
The U.K. needs more first class studio space to encourage the growth of the film and TV sector.
