Every generation deals with the breaking down of its tradition, and I think that they rediscovered the film.

Michael Caine is a movie star, but he's also a great actor. I can't say that about every movie star. It's the concentration he has.

I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.

We're always on the side of the animal that's being chased. We always seem to be on the side of the rabbit or the fox and not on the side of the hounds.

I still get a lot of material but I find that as one gets older you get more fussy. You know you're going spend a year or a year and a half on this and you know there are only so many films in you so you get a little bit more selective.
