There are some movies that I would like to forget, for the rest of my life - really! But even those movies that I'd like to forget teach me things.

You see thousands of films you forget the minute you come out of the cinema, don't you? Because they don't mean anything. It's the tough ones like 'Breaking the Waves' and 'Nil By Mouth' that stay with you, that you never forget. I'd like to leave a few of those behind if possible.

I think it is very important that films make people look at what they've forgotten.

I've watched films and even forgotten I'm in them.

I think that there's good movies and there's bad movies, and sometimes the bad movies spoil it for the rest of us, and we focus on them, but in the long run, all that matters are the good movies. Those are the ones that we will remember.

I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.

Movies tie things up in an arbitrary length of time, but I have always liked things that aren't fully realised.

When you do a movie, you don't know when it's going to come out. In a year, you forget about it.

There are so many things from movies that are remembered, that are just looks on people's faces or incredible vistas or beautiful pictures. That is a very important part of cinema.
