The American cinema in general always made stories about working-class people; the British rarely did. Any person with my working-class background would be a villain or a comic cipher, usually badly played, and with a rotten accent. There weren't a lot of guys in England for me to look up to.
Michael Caine

Person, Made, American

Michael Haneke

Alexander Payne

Joshua Leonard

Reality, Sense, American
