Quotes by Tom Hooper

I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether its shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether its a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. Its truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.

I think English film is very embarrassed by patriotism, generally.

In The Kings Speech, patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment, the third of September, 1939, where the aggressor is clear, the fight is clear, it hasnt become complicated over time.

American cinema tends to express a patriotic relationship to national identity on a regular basis.
