Richard attenborough

I just love biography, and I'm fascinated by people who have shifted our destinies or our points of view.

I was on my own union council for twenty-odd years.

I can't write, I can't paint, I don't compose.

In other words, if you - the cost of promoting movies, the advertising and promotion of a movie, the budget is almost as large as the cost of the movie.

I believe in trade unionism, and I believe in democracy, in democratic trade unionism.

There's nothing more important in making movies than the screenplay.

I think Tom Paine is one of the greatest men that's ever lived.

I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.

If you've ever seen the film In Which We Serve, but it was about a destroyer in the Mediterranean.

I'm a passionate trade unionist.
