I don't make judgments about my own work, and I don't analyze it; I just let it happen. That applies to everything I've done.
From Harold Pinter
I do tend to think that I've written a great deal out of my unconscious because half the time I don't know what a given character is going to say next.
I'm always the interrogator. When I was an actor in rep, I always played sinister parts. The directors always said, 'If there's a nasty man about, cast Harold Pinter.'
The whole brunt of the media and the government is to encourage people to be highly competitive and totally selfish and uncaring of others.
The effect of depleted uranium, used by America in the Gulf War, is never referred to.
I'll tell you something, and this is true: I've never been able to write a film which I didn't respect. I just can't do it. I'm very happy about all the films I haven't done.
It's such a delicate business, the structure of film, isn't it? What happens if a scene is not there but two minutes later? It's an eternal, never-ending search, actually, which is very exciting. It really is.
No one wanted me to be a conscientious objector. My parents certainly didn't want it. My teacher and mentor, Joe Brearley, didn't want it. My friends didn't want it. I was alone.
