Danh ngôn của Ken Loach (Sứ mệnh: 6)

Those in power always try to distort reality, to suit their needs and keep things safe.
I don't think films about working class people are sad at all; I think they're funny and lively and invigorating and warm and generous and full of good things.
I challenge the idea that films about rich people are escapism and films about working class people are dour and sad. I find the opposite's the case.
The most enjoyable things are the old eighteenth-century terraces that are still standing, that domestic architecture.
We made 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley' about the war of independence and the civil war, which were the pivotal moments of Irish history, really. 'Jimmy's Hall' would seem to be a smaller story 10 years later.

Often people write stories about people who are suffering, and they're miserable all the time. That's not the case. You go to the food bank or wherever and there's laughter, there's comedy, there's stupidity, there's silliness and warmth. And that's the reality of people's lives. If you cut out that sense of humor and warmth, you miss the point.
