Believe me, it would be a long, long, cold day before I decide to warm up next to Rupert Murdoch.

Rupert Murdoch is a good friend of mine.

Stuart Murdoch is a really special human being - really creative, but also really kind and gentle.

Although his personality is generally quite agreeable, Mr Murdoch has no loyalty to anyone or anything except his company.

The director of 'Independence Day,' 'Godzilla' and 'The Patriot' has certain attributes, all of which are given full vent in 'The Day After Tomorrow.' He's crude, stupid, slick, cornball, predictable, laughable, relentless, trivial and, the sum of all these, ridiculous. He's never made a movie you could believe and he still hasn't.

Sometimes I get an idea for cinema. And when you get an idea that you fall in love with, this is a glorious day.

I like French films, Chabrol in particular. With him, you often get a skewed morality in which you sympathise with the person you shouldn't.

I love documentaries. My problem is when the filmmaker becomes the star.

When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.

I think you kind of hope for people to gush over movies, but I think the opposite way is great sometimes, too. I'd rather have a movie that you're angry about and that you're talking about the next day, than something you forget about when the popcorn goes into the trash.
