filming

Lindsay [Doran] goes round the table and introduces everyone -- making it clear that I am present in the capacity of writer rather than actress, therefore no one has to be too nice to me.

Whatever genre you deem suitable for your taste _ romance, comedy, action, mystery, sci-fi or anything else, make sure it has the plain everyday human kindness.

Take the clapper and become the alarm that the world so desperately needs.

Use filmmaking for a greater purpose, than to just entertain some drowsy minds. Wake the whole world up with your movies. It has been sleeping for long. Its eternal sleep has become its darkest nemesis. Now is the time to wake it up.

Make films that purify the soul with the flow of rational, vigorous and compassionate thinking.

The art of filmmaking is the most influential form of art that has ever existed throughout the history of human artistic endeavors.

Give people films, they will forget after a few weeks, but give people ideas, they will assimilate them into their consciousness.

Use filmmaking to eliminate racism _ use to it terminate misogyny _ use it to destroy homophobia and all other primitiveness.

Make movies my friend _ make nice, inspiring and bold movies that will penetrate the darkest corners of the human mind and illuminate the soul.

A movie is not a movie, it is a potential nuclear furnace of inspiration, courage and conscience.

Filmmaking has the power to fortify the feeble, unify the divided, raise the abandoned and inspire the ignorant.

Shooting Willoughby carrying Marianne up the path. ... Male strength -- the desire to be cradled again? ... I'd love someone to pick me up and carry me off. Frightening. Lindsay assures me I'd start to fidget after a while. She's such a comfort.

Anytime you're away from your home filming, it messes with your head.

My family has had to become quite understanding about me not returning phone calls when I'm filming.

I've also just finished filming the role of Robert Brown in 'Just William,' which is due to transmit on BBC One at Christmas.

Our first point of discussion is the hunt. (...) My idea is to start the film with an image of the vixen locked out of her lair which has been plugged up. Her terror as she's pursued across the country. This is a big deal. It means training a fox from birth or dressing up a dog to look like a fox. Or hiring David Attenbrorough, who probably knows a few foxes well enough to ask a favour.

I seem finally to have stopped worrying about Elinor, and age. She seems now to be perfectly normal -- about twenty-five, a witty control freak. I like her but I can see how she would drive you mad. She's just the sort of person you'd want to get drunk, just to make her giggling and silly.

Shooting Willoughby carrying Marianne up the path. They did it four times. 'Faster,' said Ang [Lee]. They do it twice more. 'Don't pant so much,' said Ang. Greg [Wise (playing Willoughby)], to his great credit, didn't scream.
