I was absolutely obsessed with the Titanic – not the film, the actual boat. I’d draw diagrams about it and theorise that if it was built in a different way, it wouldn’t have sunk.
With ‘Titanic,’ you have all the first-class passengers interwoven with wonderful stories about the maids and the engineers, the people downstairs in the galleys.
I was a rust repairer. I was a rust repairer and full-time survivor. I survived all the major earthquakes, and the Titanic, and several air crash.
I love ‘Titanic’, I love ‘Romeo & Juliet’, those are my favourite films, and so it’s crazy to think that people wouldn’t connect with ‘Feel Good’, it’s just a love story.
Tragedy is a great storytelling form. It worked extremely well for Shakespeare. It worked extremely well for Jim Cameron with ‘Titanic.’
I remember weeping silently in bed after watching ‘Titanic.’
Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack in ‘Titanic’ was my childhood crush!
Before ‘Titanic,’ yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because it’s just a bit daft for me.
Human civilization as we know it is like the Titanic headed for the iceberg, whether the iceberg be nuclear, environmental or terrorism-related.
Not every story in history has a beginning, a middle and an end, but the wreck of the Titanic does. It begins when they leave, in the middle it hits an iceberg, and in the final two hours, the ship sinks.
