I don't think London has been given enough credit in a lot of the movies that we make here.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.
Britain has enormous amount of talent, as we've seen from the BAFTAs. It's all here, and it has to be allowed to flourish.
It is great filming in London. It's difficult, but it looks good. It has its own identity.
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.
The BAFTAs give the British point of view, and the Oscars give the American point of view, but the truth is we're all working in an international industry.
London is full of creative people - you can never say that it's not.
It's not simply that British films do well at the box office and generate revenue, it's that they provide a window to the world of what Britain and its culture is about.
I have always thought we should think less about the British film industry as an entity, and more about getting British talent working.
There are too many things to count that I like about London.
The British film industry has always tried to sell itself as something rather sophisticated. It's almost as if it thinks it is by royal command. It has always tried to claim the high ground, not only over Hollywood but over the whole of humanity!
