Guy Ritchie

“I think there's a certain magic that comes from being open to happening.”

“It's about the filmmaking, the process. It's not an intellectual exercise. It's a visceral experience.”

“The best advice I've ever been given is, 'Be in the business of solving problems.'”

“I like filming from the gut.”

“My principal role is to entertain.”

“I'm not interested in violence. I'm interested in the repercussions of violence.”

“I think you've got to be a little bit crazy to be a director.”

“I'm not that interested in the plot. I'm interested in the characters.”

“I'm a big fan of the underdog. I'm a big fan of the guy that's not supposed to win.”

“I love the creative process. I love the fact that you can make something out of nothing.”

“What I'm interested in is the humanity of the characters.”

“You can't be a director without a sense of humor.”

“The idea is that you are a storyteller and you're using film as a medium for that.”

“I am a storyteller. I'm a man of the people.”

“I'm not a big fan of comedy. I'm a big fan of humor.”

“I don't think there's anything clever about being cynical.”

“I'm very interested in the idea of duality.”

“I do like to have a positive message in my films.”

“I'm quite an optimist, really.”
