Jim Sheridan's quotes

• I find in modern cinema now...people don't like the mystic or the spiritual. It's become almost a dirty word now.
• [on his filming ideas] Give all the bad information up front and then try and make... the story, where I can elevate the spirit.
• The rules of drama are not the rules of life.
• Within the Arab world there's always been warmth for the Irish. I think we're that sort of weird post-colonial culture that they get.
• I used to be very friendly with Marlon Brando. After 9/11, he said something very interesting. He said that the problem with 9/11 is there'll never be another Omar Sharif. And I thought, you know what, Marlon's probably right.
