Famous quotes by Tom Hooper:

"Here we can build Hollywood-scale sets on a television budget."

"The relationship that Tony Blair has with Cherie Blair doesn't have an immediate binding effect on the body politic with Britain. But in the Elizabethan court, whoever was Elizabeth's lover rose to the most powerful political player in the court, became a multimillionaire, had the power to bestow land and status to other people."

"Sometimes your body language is enough for an actor to know that you're not happy. And you don't really need to say it out loud if you deal with actors you know very well. And I don't think you really need to be explicit."

"I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost his father in that war. So, through my dad and the effect it had on him of losing his father young, I always felt connected to the war. It goes back years, but it still feels to me as if we're completely living in it."

"I'm the son of highly functioning parents who I'm incredibly lucky to have."

"A lot of dramas get a bad name commercially because they are unremittingly bleak."

"When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'."

"I think people enjoy finding out something genuinely new."

"I would say L.A. is more polite than London - it's a very careful place. People talk a lot in code."

"If you look at classic Hollywood films, they tend to shoot close-ups on quite long lenses and the background it out of focus. You know, it's just a mush."

"I love the incredible variety of demands directing makes on you, from the entrepreneur to the hustler to the deal-maker to the writer; to directing actors and the camera and working with music, sound, marketing and promotion. It uses so many sides of your brain."

"Some films clearly seem to divide people. And I do think there's something incredibly exciting about the commonality of us as human beings, which some films are lucky enough to tap into."

"Actors are programmed to see the worst. If you're talking about an actor's TV series, you say, 'I loved you last night.' And they go, 'What about the week before?' They immediately worry."

"I have a yearning someday to do one of these huge juggernauts."

"What I learned about stammering was that, when as a young child you lose the confidence of anyone who wants to listen to you, you lose confidence in your voice and the right to speech. And a lot of the therapy was saying, 'You have a right to be heard.'"

"In 'The King's Speech,' patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment, the third of September, 1939, where the aggressor is clear, the fight is clear, it hasn't become complicated over time."

"Some of my most special shooting experiences have been at weekends."

"Well, I'm half Australian, half English and I live in London. That is the only reason I came upon this story. My Australian mother, Meredith Hooper, was invited in late 2007 by some Australian friends to make up a token Australian audience in a tiny fringe theater play reading of an unproduced, unrehearsed play called 'The King's Speech.'"

"I appear to be drawn to iconic characters and what they reflect back to our cultures."

"The hardest part of directing is the choosing. Unlike an actor who can do a variety of work, it is a year of your life, you can't afford to get it wrong."
