Every action has a consequence, so always try to be good.
From Richard Eyre
I can't think of anyone I admire who isn't fuelled by self-doubt. It's an essential ingredient. It's the grit in the oyster.
We can alleviate physical pain, but mental pain - grief, despair, depression, dementia - is less accessible to treatment. It's connected to who we are - our personality, our character, our soul, if you like.
Change begins with understanding and understanding begins by identifying oneself with another person: in a word, empathy. The arts enable us to put ourselves in the minds, eyes, ears and hearts of other human beings.
What we hold in our heads - our memory, our feelings, our thoughts, our sense of our own history - is the sum of our humanity.
If the arts are held up solely as a means of social insight, fantasy is denied the chance to be commonplace and reality the chance to be exotic.
Balance is the enemy of art.
I am interested in the gap between what people say and what they think - the undiscovered world of people's lives. Lives of quiet desperation.
You can't be minimalist as a director until you have acquired the experience and confidence to say no.
The principle of acting in good faith is at the heart of decent work.
