I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming 'War Horse' on Dartmoor.

I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives.

All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.

I don't dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I'm dreaming for living.

Failure is inevitable. Success is elusive.

Our one goal is to give the world a taste of peace, friendship and understanding. Through the visual arts, the art of celebration of life.

I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.

Before I go off and direct a movie, I always look at four films. They tend to be The Seven Samurai, Lawrence Of Arabia, It's A Wonderful Life and The Searchers.

The world would be a poorer place without Doctor Who.

Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.

I interviewed survivors, I went to Poland, saw the cities and spent time with the people and spoke to the Jews who had come back to Poland after the war and talked about why they had come back.

I'm killing time and it's dying hard.

The universe is in fact a multiverse.

It is not darkness you are going to, for God is Light. It is not lonely, for Christ is with you. It is not unknown country, for Christ is there.

And if there is not any such thing as a long time, nor the rest of your lives, nor from now on, but there is only now, why then now is the thing to praise and I am very happy with it.

Birth and death are illusions, they are part of the dream.

Let this be my final lesson. Everyone and everything has a time to die.

The reason that the invisible hand often seems invisible is that it is often not there.

I promise you, a lot of it is luck. But you make your own luck by working really hard and trying lots and lots of things.

I like the idea of a strong woman in charge.

A vision, without a plan, is just a hallucination.
