My natural accent is American. I chose to speak with a U.K. accent when I was about to enter the final year at drama school in London. I was going to try to find a way to stay in the U.K. after I finished college and could not imagine trying to live ...
Now, when an American has an idea, he directly seeks a second American to share it. If there be three, they elect a president and two secretaries. Given four, they name a keeper of records, and the office is ready for work; five, they convene a gener...
The way to an American economic comeback, the way to help those out of work today find a paycheck, is to unleash the forces of job creation in America. The source of new jobs isn't going to be the bureaucracies of Washington, but rather the creativit...
American schools in Guam, both before 1941 and after 1945, were established to eradicate the Chamoru, tongue and person. To educate the old Chamoru out of the new American. The native out of the patriot...But the nastier lesson their schools taught w...
I'd like to see North America become a dry, sunny, sandy region inhabited mainly by lizards, buzzards and a modest human population - about 25 million would be plenty - of pastoralists and prospectors (prospecting for truth), gathering once a year in...
Americans may say they love our accents (I have been accused of sounding 'like Princess Di') but the more thoughtful ones resent and rather dislike us as a nation and people, as friends of mine have found out by being on the edge of conversations whe...

There is no sense in making a film that no-one will go and see, just to create a perfect, but useless, work of art.
Great art direction is NOT the same thing as great film direction!
I'll watch anything, from action to art films.
With a film, I do my best to understand the author's intentions and try to bring the characters to life.
The best thing about series TV is that everyone you work with is hand-picked, as compared to working on a film.
The bad guy always gets the best scene and the best lines in the film, and they usually get the most days off.
I played the best role I've ever seen on TV or film in the last five years. It was hugely gratifying.
Every film starts with two or three images. Then I try to edit these images.
There were some films I refused because the feminist aspect was a bit wonky.
There is something about the Australian psyche that seems to like films that are slightly offbeat.
Oh, some of my films have been attacked with absolute vitriol!
The big difference with Juliette and the others in that film is that she goes beyond acting.
