I've been able to make some wonderful films, but sometimes you make films with great passion - great belief - and these films slightly don't work at the box office, and they become your favorite films.

I win my awards at the box office.

Today it's not culture; it's box office.

With feature films, it's a one-time judgment once your film is premiered. Reviews, box office, and then you move on to the next project. With TV, you are being rated and judged weekly for an eight-month stretch.

I want a certificate that allows me to make as big a box office as possible.

It's fantastic to see 'Les Miserables' become the top-grossing film at the U.K. box office.
