Richard Eyre

A place makes a deep impression on you when you're young. It lives with you. It's like your childhood. It fertilises the imagination.

Everything people say about grandparenthood is true - it is pleasure without responsibility. It is unquestioned love.

Every action has a consequence, so always try to be good.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.
