When you are proud of something you have done, and you have made a film you feel has merit, and it’s found an audience and is critically well received, that’s a pretty pleasurable place to be. I mean, you don’t want it gathering dust at the bottom of someone’s DVD collection.
52
53
54

It’s very exciting to be able to just work in this business, let alone on stuff you are extremely proud of. So it does make me a little nervous, because ‘Breaking Bad‘ is so special.

161
162
163

238

248
249
250

I care about aesthetics, and I love filmmaking.
254

261

I was proud of ‘Robin Hood,’ even though critics wrote negative things. But I had to laugh when this big, shaven-headed Hungarian stunt guy first saw me. He said, ‘You Jonas? You playing Robin Hood? You need to go to the gym today.’ So I thought, ‘I’m going to show people.’

280

I realized quickly what Mandela and Tambo meant to ordinary Africans.

It’s like, how can someone that’s not even my friend say I’ve changed?

I’m very proud of my work at Watford in what has been a short period.
338

341
342

I deeply believe that if the Australian Labor Party, a party of which I have been a proud member for more than 30 years, is to have the best future for our nation, then it must change fundamentally its culture and to end the power of faceless men.

397
398

The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, ‘I’m not interested,’ or you’re unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don’t understand that, and I think it’s rude.
