Jane Campion
  • I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.

  • I think I made good movies.

  • As for how criticism of Keats' poetry relates to criticism of my own work, I'll leave that for others to decide.

  • I have to admit that I had a lot of problems with poetry.

  • And, I mean, I think poetry does need to be met to some extent, especially, I guess, 19th century poetry, and for me, it's just been so worth the effort. It's like I'm planting a garden in my head.
