I didn't read reviews earlier in my career, but I read them now as I'm older. I read them all.

I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming 'War Horse' on Dartmoor.

The turning point in my career was Jaws. It was a turning point because I was a director-for-hire before Jaws and because it was such a big hit I could do any movie I wanted and Hollywood just wrote me a cheque.

All through my career I've done what I can to discover new talent and give them a start.
