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
My musical knowledge is so bad its embarrassing. When composers discuss music with someone as primitive as myself, they have to talk about it in terms of senses and emotion, rather than keys and tempo. – Jane Campion
I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasnt going to be a real parent if I didnt quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that Id made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time. – Jane Campion
