Richard Stanley Quotations

There's no secret that the revolve rate of clients here is less than in other markets. But, again, that is not unusual, given the stage of development we're in, and we'd expect that to increase.

'Hardware' came about because I had written quite a few scripts and hadn't had any luck getting them made.

South Africa had very poor repertory distribution. I didn't find out about Akira Kurosawa and Tarkovsky and Werner Herzog until I got to the U.K.

From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be Carl Denham.

The Roundhouse was a complete shell. It was absolutely empty, lying derelict for years.

We will be, in effect, tenants of those buildings for 20 to 25 years until the bond is repaid.

We have taken a high degree of care in a new market like this and on how we enter. So we're very happy with the credit processes we have put in place.

Over the last 20 years, everyone who interviews me feels compelled to ask at least one question about 'The Island of Dr. Moreau.'

With 'Moreau,' it's been particularly confusing because I started out being the writer of the screenplay and then trying to be the director, then being moved from being the director and having to become the dog extra, it makes some kind of sense to suddenly become a character in the story.

Having spent all that time getting away from South Africa, running away from the army, I wanted very much to believe that America and England were actually as free as they were meant to be, not slipping rapidly into becoming police states like the one I'd just left.
