And to see all the talented people they have now opportunities that perhaps wouldn’t have existed in the early part of my career. I’m very happy with it. […] I’m here for one combination of luck and work by wonderful directors, screenwriters and cinematographers. I feel enormously lucky. […] I thank my wife, who supports me when I need support – and I need a lot of it. […] I thank all the good actors and actresses I have worked with, I feel deeply happy to have had the opportunities I have had, I thank you. […] I won’t take up any more of your time.
