Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.

Anyone can replicate a product. There are lots of brilliant minds out there that know how to code, but there’s unique DNA to a brand. You cannot have a brand without people. That is the most important asset you will ever have.

My favorite lesbian romance of all time is the 1999 movie ‘But I’m a Cheerleader,’ starring Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall. RuPaul is also in it; so is the brilliant Melanie Lynskey.

Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It’s a technology that brings people together.

I feel like there’s a voice in my head, always, telling me every idea is brilliant, and another telling me every idea is the worst. And they argue in my head until somebody wins, until I solicit an audience to be, like, ‘Will you help me figure this out? Is this the best or the worst idea?’ And they tell me!
I can’t begin to tell you what a pleasure it was to work with Vikram. He is such a brilliant actor and so hassle-free.

People ask me about ‘The Hurt Locker’ a lot, and it’s an incredible piece of filmmaking – as are ‘Band of Brothers’ and ‘Platoon’ and ‘Full Metal Jacket’ and ‘Apocalypse Now.’ But they’re not necessarily true to war in a literal sense. What they are, really, are brilliant movies about Hollywood’s idea of war.
Godard is incredibly brilliant, the things he says. Apparently here in France, the most interesting thing when a new film of his is going to come out are his press conferences, because he’s so brilliant.

I had seen ‘Do the Right Thing’ when I was at college, and it was incredibly inspiring as a piece of cinema. Just brilliant, I thought. But saw ‘Malcolm X’ with a crowded audience. It was my first time in an American cinema, hearing an audience respond. You know, in England, everyone is so restrained.
Frost isn’t exactly despised but not enough people have worked out what a brilliant poet he was.
I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
I’ve created, directed and choreographed for Lady Gaga since the beginning, so ‘Born This Way,’ this was musically such an amazing evolution and such a brilliant record. So when she played it for me, it took me a while to find out the visual interpretation that I could give back to her.
My nature is feminist. How could you not be a feminist and be alive? The world is full of brilliant, interesting women.
No matter how brilliant an actor is, there’s always a point where they let you down, but that’s all part of their journey. They might be trying something they need to explore.

You get a much more intimate sense of the person through little incidents, stories, and gossip.
Louise Frogley is a brilliant designer. I always find her wardrobe fittings really informative and creative. Together, you kick images and ideas around.
Let no one underestimate the need of pity. We live in a stony universe whose hard, brilliant forces rage fiercely.
I’m a huge Wes Anderson fan. I literally love every single film. He hasn’t made a bad film; I’ve seen every single one. They’ve all been brilliant, from ‘Bottle Rocket’ up to ‘Moonrise Kingdom,’ they’ve all been wonderful.
I believe that filmmaking is a brilliant thing to do – be doing – for a living.

I made ‘Heading Out’ with a lot of love and surrounded myself with brilliant people who challenged me to do my best and also gave a great deal of love and support back. As a result, the experience was blissful.
I resent having witnessed the survival of some very mediocre male actors and the professional demise of the very brilliant female ones.
I lack confidence, but I’ve been so lucky the way jobs have come to me, and I’m so grateful for them. I know how many brilliant actors there are out there who aren’t getting the chances. While the work is there, I will grab it with both hands. It could all end tomorrow. You never know what’s around the corner.
