I Don't Want To Make Pompous, Serious

I've Just Been To The Taj Mahal Which I'd Never Been To And I'm Not A Very Romantic Kind Of Guy But It Is The Most Romantic Thing I've Ever Seen.

To Be A Film-maker, You Have To Lead. You Have To Be Psychotic In Your Desire To Do Something. People Always Like The Easy Route. You Have To Push Very Hard To Get Something Unusual, Something Different.

I Don't Want To Make Pompous, Serious Films.

I Find That People Find A Way Out Of Misery Through Humor And It's Humor That's Often Unacceptable To People Who Are Not In Quite Such A State Of Misery.
