Asif Kapadia Time Quotations

I worked in TV for a short time and couldn't stand the fact that we'd always be filming someone talking, just giving information.

I worked with Michelle Yeoh on my last film, 'Far North,' and her partner is Jean Todt; at the time, he ran Ferrari. So I went as a VIP to the British grand prix.

I'd always intended to make 'Far North' straight after 'The Warrior.' We had the rights to the short story, the script was in development, and I knew where I wanted to shoot it. It just took a long time getting the script together and raising the finance.

Weirdly enough, I live in London - was born there and have lived there all my life - but I hadn't made a film in London for a long time. I hadn't found the right subject. I liked going away, to some far flung place.

We were working on 'Senna' for a long time before we were fully financed, so we didn't actually have an editor for a while.

The Monaco Grand Prix is in May right around the time of Cannes.

A lot of the time when I'm working, I'm abroad.

I want to make my own films from my own scripts based on stories I want to tell, but they take time to put together.
