Politics is just a function of business now, just a tributary of the great entrepreneurial capitalist system.

The thing about Shakespeare is, whatever his politics were, the one thing he wasn't was an anarchist. He believes there's something called power, and he believes that somebody has to take it. And that you can't pretend power doesn't exist. And to me, Bush is a person who understands American power, and what it can do. But unfortunately, he's used it in a way that reveals its limitations, and that's the tragedy, if you like.

Are we simply waving farewell to the days when some of the most interesting thinking in Europe and America came to us from our fiction film-makers? BBC2, which once introduced and showed great films, now shows none.

Different function is a function of different system

As human beings, we are all not conducting just one narrative but many narratives all at the same time.

I believe totally in a Capitalist System, I only wish that someone would try it.
