“The only way you can learn about making films is by making them, by pu...” — Stephen Frears Quote

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

It never crossed my mind to make a film about Muhammad Ali or the Queen or any of them! They just come out of the blue.

This black hole that people talk about in my career in the '70s, when I didn't make any films - in retrospect, what I was doing was learning my job.

I never expected to become a director. It never occurred to me to come to America, to Hollywood. It's all been a wonderful accident. I'm still amazed every time I finish a film.

Truth is quite constricting, in a way. You endlessly see at the start of a film 'This is a true story'.

One of the fun things about wrestling is that you can do a move and leave your stamp on the business forever.

Look, isn't there any way you can just stamp me as not crazy and let me get outta here.

I'm kind of surprised that so many of those other books were almost exactly like mine. They even follow the form. There were some books that even copied the stamp. It shows so little imagination.

I'm always going to say, 'I think there is racism' and I want to stamp it out.

I absolutely will be putting my stamp on this government and my leadership.
