Joe Wright's quotes

  • "Pride & Prejudice (2005) is my first film with a happy ending. Before, I naively thought they were a cop-out, but now I've come to believe that happy endings and wish fulfillment are an incredibly important part of our cultural life".
  • Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new. I've been lucky over the past few years. Things have just happened for me.
  • [on filming 'Anna Karenina'] If there was a scene in the book about love then it was in, and if it wasn't about love it was out. So if the audiences are interested in farming practices of the 1800s, they're going to be disappointed.
  • There's something magical or poetic about physical performance that I'm drawn to - it's almost mystical. But I also think movement in relation to words is really interesting. So it's how the two operate together.
