I didn't go to film school. I had been an actor in movies, I had been in plays, and then I just sort of jumped into it.

I didn't go to film school. My Grampa always says just watch a lot of movies. He didn't go to film school; he went to theatre school. It's interesting to learn about the technical side of it, but I think it's more important to learn about writing and working with actors.

I never studied film formally at school, but as a kid, I spent most of my time in cinemas.

I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.

Film schools didn't exist when I was growing up. I learned by working with clever people. Good writers and cinematographers.

Knowing what I do now, I don't know if I'd ever have the balls to go to film school, with no connections and no knowledge of the business side at all.

When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.

My education was an education by movies.

I can't even remember not wanting to go to film school.
