You act in a movie, and at the end of the day, the director and editor decide what your performance is.
From Richard Attenborough
When I'm directing a movie, nothing else matters.
I think there were times when, if circumstances had developed, I might have been tempted into politics. I am a fan of Tony Blair. I think Gordon Brown is a fine man, but I think he's headed for one hell of a bloody struggle.
When me and Sheila got married, all we had was an oval table, four chairs, a bed, and a painting by Matthew Smith.
I think 'E.T.' is a quite extraordinary piece of cinema.
I know I'm regarded as an establishment figure, but I was crucified by the establishment for 'Oh! What a Lovely War', 'Gandhi' and 'Cry Freedom.'
Irreverence is an essential part of our culture.
The family is the focal point of our existence. And up until Jane and Lucy's death, there were always 16 of us together for Christmas.
I adored my mother. I absolutely adored her and admired her.
Throughout my life, I always remember that consideration of people who were less fortunate than we. We lived in an atmosphere of awareness, and we certainly did not live a life whereby we ignored, or felt that we could ignore, that which was in evidence around us.
