Danh ngôn của Mike Leigh (Sứ mệnh: 7)

The whole thing about making films in an organic film on location is that it's not all about characters, relationships and themes, it's also about place and the poetry of place. It's about the spirit of what you find, the accidents of what you stumble across.
It creeps up on you and becomes an obsession. It comes out of watching a million movies.
I try and create for the audience something that relates to real-life experience.
My work requires acting at its most committed - it demands actors of enormous resilience, but also intelligence and wit. It doesn't work for narcissistic or selfish actors.
