More quotes by Jane Campion

  • "It's been such a deep and amazing journey for me, getting close to John Keats, and also I love Shelley and Byron. I mean, the thing about the Romantic poets is that they've got the epitaph of romantic posthumously. They all died really young, and Keats, the youngest of them all."

  • "I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living.

  • "I think women don't grow up with the harsh world of criticism that men grow up with, we are more sensitively treated, and when you first experience the world of film-making you have to develop a very tough skin."
