QUOTES:

[on living and working in Los Angeles] Los Angeles is like a desert. The only thing that exists is the work you do. You have that sense of living a precarious existence.

To make films is as boring as watching paint dry. You usually have to do tiny bits here and there. You go off waiting for lighting, you come back – the energy dies. You hope you can find someone who can keep it going.

[on an older nun who looked after Agutter’s ill mother] I once asked her how she coped with difficulties and she looked at me very quizzically and said: “You just get on with it.” Difficult times were not something that got in the way, they were simply something that happened. Sometimes there was happiness, sometimes there was sadness and you dealt with whatever you had at that time. I think Sister Julienne and the nuns at Nonnatus would have felt something similar to that.

[being nude in films] It’s not an issue with me. The exploitation of it is. You can end up naked in places you don’t want to. That shocks me. Doing it doesn’t shock me.
