Ben Lewin quotes:

Particularly with middle-class people, self-absorption is a struggle.

I'm what is known as a 40-year overnight success.

I think people think filmmaking is fun, but I've never thought that. For me it's always been a lot of work and pain and stress.

I have always enjoyed the company of women.

If you look at the types of directors out there, I'm not as weird as most of them.

When I watch a movie, I don't want to see the extra bits.

I am more connected to the world of the imagination, but you don't have to have polio to do that.
