“There isn't a route to success. Make a film. If people like it, you'll...” — Stephen Frears Quote

“There isn't a route to success. Make a film. If people like it, you'll be okay. There is no route that I know of.”

“To be successful at anything, you need the right to fail, not just occasionally.”

“The only way you can learn about making films is by making them, by putting your stamp on the thing.”

“I didn't study writing or drama or anything like that... that was not really a viable route for me.”

“My career has been a bit strange. I don't think it took the normal route.”

“My music has given me a confidence I wouldn't have had if I had gone a different route.”
