The fact is that I loved being in England.
I love Britain, but I've only been to the obvious places.
I love New York, but I have to admit that I feel very English, and I do miss that sense of history that you have everywhere in Britain.
I adore Britain! It's my favourite country; I love their eccentricity. I find Britain so inspiring.
There is nothing so striking to the eye on a return to England from the Continent as the stateliness of our trees. I do not know of any trees in Europe to compare with ours.
Children of Men' reinforces what few would doubt, but which British cinema would seldom lead you to suspect: the British landscape bristles with cinematic potential.
My favourite British spots are any of the beautiful parks, especially on a sunny day such as this, after a long stretch of cold, cloudy and rainy days.
My art recognizes the human place, the human context - especially in Britain, which is a landscape so worked by people for thousands of years, written, deeply ingrained with the presence of people.
