Ken Loach

Film is one small voice in a great cacophony of noise from newspapers, from the television, from social media, so it can have a little dent, you know? It can help to create a climate of opinion.

The Labour election of 1945 was a tremendous victory for democratic ownership of the economy.

In general I think that in art you only have the responsibility to tell the truth.

You've only got to look at a film to see that it has to be collaborative - the images, the performances and all the art direction and the costume, everything shrieks collaboration.
