It was a fantastic learning experience and OK I got slammed because I wasn't Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that really if you'd opened your eyes wide enough.

I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.

But I think it's great to be able to work with established directors and then also first-timers. I feel like you learn from both of them but then you can go and share your knowledge with each of them. That's really fantastic!

I had a vision how it should sound and I put all my knowledge into this product and it is a fantastic product. People still tell me that I have the best musical thing there.

Charles Laughton who's a great hero of mine only ever made one film and it happens to be one of the great films ever which is 'The Night of the Hunter.' It's full of his kind of imagination and creation and how you do things and just in the way he used the studio I just thought it was a fantastical way of using the studio.

I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination. And it's just fantastic to be there alongside Louie as he's breaking the NCAA mile record. People at these vigorous moments in their lives - it's my way of living vicariously.

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.

While it is true that Frank had a great sense of humor he was also very serious about composing music. In reality there are only a handful of skilled players who can play his most complex pieces. It takes a lot of patience to learn and requires a fantastic memory.

I'm really happy here. I think anyone who knows me well and the fans too I hope they know that I love the area and the bond that I've had with the fans has been fantastic.

I am proud and more than a little excited to be asked to work with Faber in an editorial capacity. It is my dearest hope that we will produce some fantastic books together.
