Its a luxury to be able to tell a long form story. I love novels, and I love to have a long relationship with characters. – Jane Campion
I didnt like England. I couldnt take the look of the place or the style of friendship. I need more intimacy from people than is considered okay there, and I felt that my personality and my enthusiasms werent understood. I had to put a big lid on myself. – Jane Campion
Performers are so vulnerable. Theyre frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where its warm, where its OK to fail – a kind of home, I suppose. – Jane Campion
I feel theres a power in theatre, but its an indirect power. Its like the relationship of the sleeper to the unconscious. You discover things you cant afford to countenance in waking life. You can forget them, remember them a day later or not have any idea what they are about. – Tony Kushner
