“You learn from things that you experience in life. I'd never want to s...” — Kate Winslet Quote

You learn from things that you experience in life. I'd never want to say that I regret anything or that anything was a mistake. Honestly, that isn't how I have chosen to live my life.

I have been a parent since I was 25. That's a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely.

Growing up, I had a very happy childhood, with two parents who are still very much together.

I'm often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They're passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they've experienced hardship in their lives.

When you have a fruitful relationship with someone, and you've both chosen to work together, then it can spawn really good things.

As intelligent and responsible filmmakers, working in a free society, we have a duty to ensure that our chosen medium is a force for good. Especially in this ever-more complex and difficult world.

I have chosen this job. If I didn't like it, I would have chosen something else. I can't go out and say that 'I don't like it.'

When you ask me why I do one film a year, it is not my fault. I've chosen what I liked from whatever work came my way.

Once you make decisions, you can't go back, but in photography, that process can continue. With film, you have to eliminate all the possibilities and make the one possibility work the best for you, so you have to become very creative with the direction you've chosen.
