I'm not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.
If somebody has a better idea than me, I'll take it if it surpasses what we have on the page because at the end of the day, it's me that takes the credit anyway!
The best thing to do is find one person in your life and try to love them unconditionally. If you've accomplished that, you've accomplished a lot.
I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of.
I think there's a natural system in your own head about how much violence the scene warrants. It's not an intellectual process, it's an instinctive process.
I live on a bicycle...I live in central London, probably 90 percent of my travel is done on a bicycle. I love bicycles.
I can understand that the whole world is interested in my wife Madonna. That's even why I married her.
I like filming in the UK - I'll sleep in my own bed, which I'm really happy about.
We are not that flash, me or the missus. In fact, we are quite low-maintenance.
I still love her. But she's retarded, too.
The idea is that that there is no such thing as an external enemy.
The English countryside is the most staggeringly beautiful place. I can't spend as much time there as I like, but I like everything about it. I like fishing, I like clay- pigeon shooting.
Sugar is responsible for a lot of deaths. Arguably more than crack cocaine.
It's still too early to say how my wife will influence my life. But I do already know that it's sometimes hard work living with her.
