Ken Loach's quotes

Stalin has caused Socialism greater damage than anyone else.
A movie isn't a political movement, a party or even an article. It's just a film. At best it can add its voice to public outrage.
If films were to have a big influence, it would probably be very negative because they would probably endorse great wealth. They would endorse America as the home of peace and democracy and the defender of freedom.
Traditionally when young people were growing up, they were introduced into the adult world through work. They don't have that now. I think it's surprising [rioting] hasn't happened before.
Britishness was about empire, Britishness was about slavery, oppression, hence the Butcher's Apron. Britishness has a long legacy which we want to disown.
[on De Sica's Bicycle Thieves (1948) and the influence of Italian Neorealism] Those were a group of films we absorbed when we were young. and have stayed as a benchmark. You have it in the back of your mind but nothing more than that.
A broad church doesn't work when the choir is trying to stab the vicar in the back.
