- Nov 07, 2020
I hate it when everybody thinks I'm a... what's the word, a marauding mother! It's bigger than that.

If Twitter is worth seven billion next month, I'm happy for them to be worth six billion and spend a billion making it safer for people, for example.
- Free
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The idea of the Internet as sort of open and democratic and free and with no hierarchy, the libertarian beginnings as it were, with peer-to-peer networks... I'd sort of like for everyone to just admit that we're beyond that now.
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't see such a huge difference between online and 'in real life'. I think it has now become one and the same.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I come from the school who thought the Internet could be the great democratising force, that getting rid of the gatekeepers was a positive move.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
When politicians say, 'Oh, parents should supervise their kids' Internet use,' it drives me crazy.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Parents cannot be in the same physical space as their children at all times.
- Human
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Whether in cave paintings or the latest uses of the Internet, human beings have always told their histories and truths through parable and fable. We are inveterate storytellers.
- Life Is A
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The film that changed my life is a 1951 film by Vittorio De Sica, 'Miracle in Milan.' It's a remarkable comment on slums, poverty and aspiration.
- Opportunity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This idea of the digital native in the bedroom taking down a fascist regime and building a billion-dollar company is a very attractive image, but actually, if you look at the research, young people are on the lowest rung of digital opportunity.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, trying to articulate the world to help people see it in a way they haven't seen it before is hugely important. Sometimes, you have to take something that is completely inexplicable and say, 'Look, here is the beating heart of something you must understand.'
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I've been very, very lucky in my life, and I do believe in public service.
- Life

- Nov 07, 2020
Life is really hard for some people.
- Made
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the U.S., it would be so much better if the studios made many more smaller films for niche markets rather than a few tent pole films that swamp cinemas and Hoover up all the funding.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We need to work out who is paying for film; in the U.K., it is increasingly difficult to get production funds - and pre-sales demand more and more shot/cut material.
- Coffee

My children know not to shout before Mummy has warmed herself into something human with her coffee.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020

- Generation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The previous generation paved the way for my generation to gallop unheeded into jobs previously reserved for men.
- Dozens
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In 1982, fellow film student Amanda Richardson and I went to Greenham Common for the day - to see what was going on and to shoot some video. The day turned into a weekend, the weekend into seven months, and the dozens of hours of footage turned into a film - 'Carry Greenham Home.'
- Finally
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Arguably, it was the introduction of international non-proliferation treaties in the late '80s that finally led to the missiles being removed from Greenham Common.
- Name
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Greenham women left home for peace: 'Not in our name!' they cried. And in doing so, they spoke for millions.
- Peace
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For most women, Greenham was a place of principle, growth and song. Often joyful, sometimes terrifying, and almost always cold. As it got harder, with constant evictions and mounting violence from a frustrated and humiliated police force, the women got more determined. It was a community with a shared purpose - to live in peace.
- Devices
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The devices that our kids use are shipped from the factory with every possible audio, visual or vibration alert switched on. Each new app, website, tweet and message adds another layer of intrusion - each intrusion is cynically designed to get a response, and each response creates an appetite for another intrusion.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our children, manipulated to become exemplary consumers, increasingly admit they do not feel 'in control' of their own Internet use.
- Mistake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everything a teenager does, says or looks at, however transitory, contributes to an aggregated virtual self that might one day have consequences for its real-life counterpart. How many of us would keep all our relationships and reputations intact if every transgression, mistake or youthful folly was held in public view?
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am still cautiously hopeful about the potential of the Internet. But it seems that the greatest revolution in communication has been hijacked by commercial values.
- Film
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Vittorio De Sica famously made 'Bicycle Thieves'; that's the film of his everybody knows.
- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At 99 and after a long stay in a nursing home, the death of legendary photographer Eve Arnold was hardly a surprise - though she may have been just a little annoyed to quit a few months short of 100.
- Details
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have allowed a situation to develop in which it is legal for a multibillion dollar industry to own, wholly and in perpetuity, the intimate and personal details of children.
- Picture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We think that there is this terrible idea that the kids are digital natives... and they know what they're doing, but all the evidence says that they're hanging around going, 'Where are you, I'm here, can I post my picture?' They're not actually writing wikis; they're not actually listening to great poets live.
- Privacy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I want to talk about privacy, the quality of the information you receive, whether it's neutral or commercial or pointed, bringing consciousness to the lack of neutrality in the algorithms.
- Looking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Internet has crept up on us, and we need to know what it is and start looking at it. We have to decide which bits we want, which bits we don't, and how we're going to use them - and how we're going to put pressure on the people who deliver these goods to deliver what we really want.
- Hungry
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the documentary is something that people are hungry for, that it embodies careful thought, nuance.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
On telly, there's been a move towards entertainment - with some very high-powered, fast-moving dramas. Then we have the Internet, where we get our information but it's all in bite-size pieces. I think the documentary, as a form, actually speaks to what's missing.
- Friend
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had a sort of classic moment when a friend of mine rang up and said she'd just been to a funeral, and in the middle of the eulogy, this kid had taken out the phone and had a whole proper text conversation - while everyone was weeping!
- Choose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing about documentary is that you don't really choose your subjects: they come and grab you out of your bed.
- Communications
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm in the communications business.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I often go out on the street with my camera and ask questions.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing that upsets me is the ubiquitous use of reward technology, which uses our evolutionary biology against us.
- Community
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes you have to put back in the community.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is nothing wrong with Facebook in itself, except that it is not a very good tool to express the quality of your relationships.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What is the point of teaching how to analyse a poem or a piece of Shakespeare but not to analyse the Internet?
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like the accidental nature of being in the real world.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's something about actors - not stars, but actors - if they have the character, and someone is pushing and shoving them to be the best they can be, they enjoy that.
- Late
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've discovered my Jewishness late in life. And I've really enjoyed exploring that world.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've liked being Jewish in America - there's a secular version of Jewishness there that's more about bagels and jokes than going to synagogues.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hope that every film I make has something to offer in the area of making people feel either vindicated or different in terms of who they are.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We need to be much more robust consumers.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This is a culture filled with perfect images of women and perfect images of movie actresses, and most people can't live up to them.
- Difficult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been interested in exploring difficult subjects for the mainstream.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everything serious in the world is well approached by humour. It's a powerful and often quite subversive tool. I suppose there is an argument that could be made against me for being frivolous, but I do think a laugh is a very generous thing to give.
- Goddess
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Each January, nearly half a million people visit the small town of Saundatti for ajatre or festival, to be blessed by Yellamma, the Hindu goddess of fertility.
- Caste
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Girls from poor families of the 'untouchable,' or lower, caste are 'married' to Yellamma as young as four. No longer allowed to marry a mortal, they are expected to bestow their entire lives to the service of the goddess.
- Poverty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The devadasis have a multilayered story, a story in which poverty, deprivation and injustice against women is central - but what has happened to them is absolutely an outcome of imperialism and the impact of British rule in India.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was 13, I had a weekend job at the Photographers Gallery Bookshop in London.
- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Not many young women of my age have been lucky enough to have had a wonderful mentor in their life.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've lost count of the plane tickets I've had in my pocket for people's weddings and other celebrations which I've had to tear up because I was making a film. How many things like that can you miss and still be in people's lives?
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From the moment I went to Hollywood for the first time, I was accused by various people of selling out. So I feel I've done my sell-out films already. I've sold everything! I've sold every piece of soul I ever had!
