More From Guy Ritchie

I Like Filming In The Uk - I'll Sleep In My Own Bed, Which I'm Really Happy About.

My Principal Job Is To Make Interesting And Entertaining Films, And I'm Not Proud Of Which Format Or Which Particular Technique I Use. I Just Wanted The Film To Look Good.

The Best Thing To Do Is Find One Person In Your Life And Try To Love Them Unconditionally. If You've Accomplished That, You've Accomplished A Lot.

As I Get More And More Involved In The Child's World With Rocco His Son I'm Getting Interested In Making A Film For Children.

After Lock, Stock, All These Really Nasty Small Town Characters Came Knocking At My Door Trying To Tell Me Stories, And Somehow I Ended Up With This Guy Whose Brother Was Feeding People To Pigs, And That's What He Did To Get Rid Of People.

Jake Green Isn't Just Jake Green. Jake Represents All Of Us. The Colour Green Is The Central Column Of The Spectrum And The Name Jake Has All Sorts Of Numerical Values. All Things Come Back To Him Within The Film's World Of Cons And Games.

I Got Into Film-making Because I Was Interested In Making Entertaining Movies, Which I Felt There Was A Lack Of.

Other Than The Fact That I Like A Country House, I Can't Think Of Anything I'd Want To Spend My Money On.

I'm Single Again And I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way. I'm Loving It At The Moment. This Is What I've Been Missing.

The Idea Is That That There Is No Such Thing As An External Enemy.

I Suppose Directing On Set Is The Most Fun Because It's A Good Crack And You Feel You're On The Battlefield Whereas Writing Is A Fairly Solitary Undertaking.

I Think It's That Much Harder To Make A Good Comedy Than It Is Straight And Apparently Serious.

I Live On A Bicycle...i Live In Central London, Probably 90 Percent Of My Travel Is Done On A Bicycle. I Love Bicycles.

I Think Everything You Do, Characters I Always Find, Have Their Own Voices And Once You Establish Who That Character Is You Find A Different Voice. I Think It's Just A Question Of Establishing That Character And The Voice Speaks Through That Character.

I'm Not Under Too Much Of An Illusion Of How Smart Or Un-smart I Am Because Filmmaking Ultimately Is About Teamwork.

I Am Relatively Familiar With Getting A Good Old Rumping From The Critics. In Some Cases, The Critics Just Didn't Like The Film - Fair Cop. Others, I Think, Didn't Understand It.

We Can All Be Conned But At What Point Do We Realize That We're Being Conned And To What Point Do We Allow Ourselves To Be Conned?

If Somebody Has A Better Idea Than Me, I'll Take It If It Surpasses What We Have On The Page Because At The End Of The Day, It's Me That Takes The Credit Anyway!

The End Of The Day

If You Change The Rules On What Controls You... You Will Change The Rules On What You Can Control.

We're Not Unique. We're Quite Volatile As Individuals, But That Doesn't Work Exponentially When We Are Together. Relationships Are About Eating Humble Pie.

It's Still Too Early To Say How My Wife Will Influence My Life. But I Do Already Know That It's Sometimes Hard Work Living With Her.

Previously, On Lock, Stock, I Went To Bed At Two In The Morning And Woke Up At Five In The Morning, And On This One I Was Known To Nod Off On The Set Occasionally.

I'm Not Politically Motivated. I Used To Be - Passionately. I Used To Be Very Left Wing. Then I Went Very Right Wing, And Now I Rest Somewhere In The Middle.

One Of The Interesting And Exciting Things About My Job Is Watching Technological Ground Being Pioneered.

I Am Not Involved In Any 'issues' Because It's Too Sensitive For Me - Or My Wife - To Get Involved. Every Time We Express An Opinion It Becomes A Whole Thing In Itself. And The Whole Purpose Of Living In The Countryside Was To Get Away From Hundreds Of People. My Wife Fell Off A Horse, And Suddenly There Are Hundreds Of People Around.

I Don't Like The Idea Of Agents In A Typical Form. The Idea Of Agents, To Me, Brings Up The Idea Of A Man In A Very Boring Suit Who's Not Very Good Looking And Doesn't Have Much Attention To Style.

I Like The Idea Of Taking What Is Essentially A Boring, Officious Job And Turning It Into Something That Is A Fantasy, To A Degree. I Suppose There Is A Juxtaposition Involved In That Because You Do Have To Be A Civil Servant But You're Doing A Tremendously Exciting Job, Or Potentially An Exciting Job, Or A Glamourous Job.

What I Liked About American Movies When I Was A Kid Was That They're Sort Of Larger Than Life And I Think I'm Still Suffering From That Reaction.

I Love Fatherhood. I Could Bang On About Kids Forever.

I Like Death. I'm A Big Fan Of It.

In Fact, 95% Of The People In My Films Have Been Nothing Less Than A Pleasure To Work With.

The English Countryside Is The Most Staggeringly Beautiful Place. I Can't Spend As Much Time There As I Like, But I Like Everything About It. I Like Fishing, I Like Clay- Pigeon Shooting.

I Got Too Fed Up With Films That Didn't Make You Think. I Liked The Idea Of One That You'd Have To Be Dancing Around With. I Like My Mind To Be Engaged When I Watch A Film.
