I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but its not part of a sensible way of living. Its a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously. – 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 did this Super-8 film at art school called Tissues, this black comedy about a family whose father has been arrested for child molestation. I was absolutely thrilled by every inch of it, and would throw my projector in the back of my car and show it to anybody who would watch it. – Jane Campion
As far as the leading man/romantic lead, Ill tell you what, I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on Catch and Release. God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion. – Timothy Olyphant
