Its been such a deep and amazing journey for me, getting close to John Keats, and also I love Shelley and Byron. I mean, the thing about the Romantic poets is that theyve got the epitaph of romantic posthumously. They all died really young, and Keats, the youngest of them all. – Jane Campion
As for how criticism of Keats poetry relates to criticism of my own work, Ill leave that for others to decide. – Jane Campion
I feel that directors at times are like the janitors on the set. I am the secretary, I am the organizer, I am the maid, and I ask if they have eaten or rested. The best things are always out of your control. Its those moments that surpass the imagination that are thrilling. – Jane Campion
