I just love biography, and I'm fascinated by people who have shifted our destinies or our points of view.
And I believe we need heroes, I believe we need certain people who we can measure our own shortcomings by.
David has asked me, a number of people have asked me and said, What performance do you like best or what's the best film you've made and so on and I don't really have any hesitation that the film I'm least embarrassed by and ashamed of or uneasy about is Shadowlands.
And that is how I employ my time in cinema, saying things about people who I think have touched us in terms of our value judgement and by example.
I don't blame people for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them.
Art is not an elitist gift for a few select people. Art is for everyone.
I believe we need heroes...we need certain people who we can measure our own shortcomings by.
