As most of my films have been made in extreme locations. It's important to work with people who understand what they are getting into. They know that it will be tough, but it will be an unforgettable experience and hopefully we'll come out with a special, cinematic movie.

important special people

There is so little time on a set to build up a working relationship with a new member of crew. It is tough to be polite, especially in an extreme location where we will not get a second chance to get the scene. It is such a stressful process that I like to work with people I know and can trust.

I am a director and I think actually they're not that different - dramas and docs aren't that different. When I'm doing a drama I'm trying to make things feel as believable and real as possible. The hair, the make-up, the costume, the design, you're trying to make it authentic. And when you've got a documentary it's all authentic, so what story are you going to tell and how do you make it dramatic and exciting? It's the same thing.

I love sport, so I'd love to do more stories if I can that deal with sport maybe. Other characters, actually the real guy is so interesting why would you want to get anyone to play them?

I used to work in TV and quit the job because I couldn't do it any more. I quite like taking my time over a film, five years is how long it takes me to work something out. And when you just do quick turnover, turnaround, I'm literally this is driving me mad, I want to find another living. I'll just have to find a creative way to tell the story.

The more you know the better it gets. The more politics there is, the more you understand. Sometimes the races are terribly boring but what's going on off the track is great. And then it makes the race much more interesting.

I can now officially to the wife "It's work, darling" I have to watch racing. I have to watch every second. And actually, my wife who can't stand racing has got into it and once she understood the politics it becomes more interesting for non-racing people I think.

By the end of( the interview sessions) I was asking quite tough questions, he would try to divert and go off and give you something else entirely.

We are dealing with archive from way back, there will be lots of images that he Diego Maradona hasn't seen of himself, of Diego Maradona family, of Diego Maradona kids, so I think it's going to be quite emotional for Diego Maradona.

It wasn't the intention to upset anyone, but just to show what was going on in her life, there's a lot of turmoil, there's a lot of stuff going on in her life and that's why things turned out the way they did. That's it really.

'Amy' is somewhere in the middle of authorized and unauthorized.

As much as I love creating entertaining visuals, I love toying with the pace of a movie and trying to perfect that. It's imperative to the impact: faster cuts, cuts at the right moments that meld with the tenor of a scene. Creating and maintaining that feeling.

A big part of my filmmaking is that I can go somewhere new and, visually, be excited by it.

To be teammates in Formula One actually means you are first rivals, not really mates.

You can't stop people watching on mobiles, but I hope the old fashioned idea of sitting in a dark room with a big screen with a group of strangers lives on forever.

Hopefully, when people see 'Senna', they will understand why this inspirational story needed to be told, why it had to be made as a movie for the big screen, and why it is a film for everyone.
