In America, I don't think you have the creative freedom that I'm used to. Traditionally, it's a producer's cinema here.

Creative freedom is a huge carrot.

I have as much artistic freedom in my television work as I have in my films.

That's the very definition of freedom: to be allowed to develop our own creative potential to the fullest. But it doesn't have to be in the arts, obviously. In my case, I gravitated toward the arts.

There is so much freedom I enjoy in theatre. In films, the roles are limited.

If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.

I never realized how much I cherished having creative freedom.

Any director or writer or artist has the right to do what they want to do - freedom of expression is something I celebrate.
