The whole thing about making films in an organic film on location

The whole thing about making films in an organic film on location is that its not all about characters, relationships and themes, its also about place and the poetry of place. Its about the spirit of what you find, the accidents of what you stumble across. – Mike Leigh

He may be wrongheaded, but his heart was always on the right side. He wrote beautiful poetry. – Chinua Achebe
