If anything, there's a difference in working with color in England and the color in the US.

Each script has its own calligraphic and cultural history. It is more a question of matching different calligraphic styles to one another, without the features of one script dominating another.

It was easier to do Shakespeare than a lot of modern movie scripts that are so poorly written.

I've been involved with some huge studio projects that have been bloody awesome. It all starts with a great script, doesn't it?

In England, there's a lot of people producing their own work and becoming producers and filmmakers, so they're not constantly waiting around. It can be very scarce for work, so it's important to create the work.

I've found that small wins, small projects, small differences often make huge differences.

I don't know why British actors are getting big parts in American TV shows. Maybe it's because we're cheap.

It's not simply that British films do well at the box office and generate revenue, it's that they provide a window to the world of what Britain and its culture is about.

It's only a drawback in the States, where most people seem to have no real interest in other countries and the notion of a novel which might offer insight into life in the UK doesn't seem to appeal very widely.

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.
