You want to enjoy making a movie - it's a wonderful, collaborative thing.

No, I'm a very normal and orthodox person that goes out of their way to present eccentricity. It's not that I do that so much now but I've been doing it for so many years that it's become routine now.

When I started my filmmaking journey 17 years ago, I honestly didn't know what a documentary film was.

I'd love to have done 'John Carter.' I'd love to work for the Disney Corporation.

My parents were sharecrop farm kids with no education - seventh, eighth grade.

We need a sustainable system of student finance that promotes opportunity, encourages aspiration, increases social mobility and is governed by fairness. But all the Tories can offer is unsustainable, mounting debt, punishing students for wanting an education. And discouraging thousands of young people from climbing the ladder to a better life.

Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do.

As far as I can see, about the only thing I've missed is a college education.
