There were certain films where I went, 'Oh, my God, I'm doing a movie.'

If ever you are to be visited by the Holy Ghost, you should make certain you're sitting beside a fireman.

I got an agent and went up for the part of my first film, Five Gates to Hell.

We did Holy Grail, and I got my name up there as one of the directors. After that, I started moving more and more down the line I wanted to, which was making movies.

I started directing on 'The Wire.'

I'm very much a bit of a ghost presence.

I had to go. A spirit in my feet said 'Go', and I went.

Cinema was my rite of passage.

I can see my ghost trying to get that Academy Award, forever stuck in a casting office. Can you imagine? I've spent enough time in audition rooms. I don't want to be doing that in my afterlife.
