"I think optimism and humour are key words for me to make the films accessible, which means they can really travel and be seen by as many people as possible."

Previous Quote

People can be extraordinarily resilient and show extraordinary grace and humour even in moments of tribulation. I've always found that it's much easier for people who are not terribly, badly off to lose hope and to be pessimistic. I suppose that when you are in a really serious situation, you have to be present, you have to think about it, there's not much scope for self-pity.
