I like making films about old people because they are repositories of amazing stories that they tell well. And they're incredibly good telly.

They may well say not only is this not true, but I will put in an injunction to prevent publication. No, stories don't go in unless I'm convinced by the people who write them that they're true. And if I'm wrong, then so be it.

Internet journalism is not a world we know very well at all. It's conducted more on the screen and less in bars, which makes it rather less useful for getting stories about people throwing up over one another, which is what one's after.

Don't hustle old people.

We treat old people so badly. There is nothing easy about 80.

All the libel lawyers will tell you there's no libel any more, that everyone's given up.
