All through my career I've done what I can to discover new talent and give them a start.

I felt, for the first time in my career, that I was directing a stage production more than a motion picture. Part of directing is psychotherapy. You're sitting there with a lot of very talented patients, and you're hoping your movie doesn't blow up in your face in anarchy.

Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.

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.

Career Concepts is prime picking grounds to find new talent and draw them to this area.

History opens up new worlds to film-makers all the time.
