Yes, actually ever since I saw his films and tried to write about them, Sirk's been in everything I've done. Not Sirk himself, but what I've learned from his work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whereas with Sirk, everything is always filmed. No matter what the script, he's always a real director.
Sirk was every woman's dream of a director.
I worked for Sam Peckinpah on quite a bit of action in his films, and he got excited once in a while.
Of all the projects I've worked on, I've never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he's a genius.
Frankly, I'm an actor right now because of Shah Rukh. When I was in school and even when studying engineering, I used to watch his films.
I started being interested in acting when I heard the voices of Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud and Sir Alec Guinness. I've had the great privilege of working with Sir Derek Jacobi and Sir Anthony Hopkins. These are people who inspire the work that I do.
I know not, sir, whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare, but if he did not, it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.
I had read too many memoirs that were written after the writer or the director was past his or her prime.
There are some tremendous actors in the U.K. who have been knighted, and I've spent much of my life admiring many of them, like Laurence Olivier. So it's very flattering to be in their company.
Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences.
