I don't consider myself qualified to do a movie about international intrigue - I seldom leave the country.

Weirdly enough, I live in London - was born there and have lived there all my life - but I hadn't made a film in London for a long time. I hadn't found the right subject. I liked going away, to some far flung place.

I'm thinking about doing a First World War film.

Any time you do a movie, there are going to be war wounds that you end up getting.

You go overseas and people are oppressed and scared and worried but we're not like that... we're more like my films and how people come out at the end of seeing them - they feel good.

I love escaping into film, because everyday life I find quite troublesome. So any excuse to go into a cinema and say goodbye to the world for a couple of hours, or in a book or whatever, is great.

I haven't done an international film for a long time.

I'm having a vacation, and it's so beautiful, and maybe I'll never get another film idea in my life.

It's always been my dream to be in a war film.
