Unfortunately, teatime in London is when people in Los Angeles arrive in their offices and pick up the phone.

My children know not to shout before Mummy has warmed herself into something human with her coffee.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
We need to work out who is paying for film; in the U.K., it is increasingly difficult to get production funds - and pre-sales demand more and more shot/cut material.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
In the U.S., it would be so much better if the studios made many more smaller films for niche markets rather than a few tent pole films that swamp cinemas and Hoover up all the funding.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
I think I've been very, very lucky in my life, and I do believe in public service.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
For me, trying to articulate the world to help people see it in a way they haven't seen it before is hugely important. Sometimes, you have to take something that is completely inexplicable and say, 'Look, here is the beating heart of something you must understand.'
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
This idea of the digital native in the bedroom taking down a fascist regime and building a billion-dollar company is a very attractive image, but actually, if you look at the research, young people are on the lowest rung of digital opportunity.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
The film that changed my life is a 1951 film by Vittorio De Sica, 'Miracle in Milan.' It's a remarkable comment on slums, poverty and aspiration.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
Whether in cave paintings or the latest uses of the Internet, human beings have always told their histories and truths through parable and fable. We are inveterate storytellers.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
Parents cannot be in the same physical space as their children at all times.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
When politicians say, 'Oh, parents should supervise their kids' Internet use,' it drives me crazy.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
The thing I have come to find astonishing is that people from all political sides routinely say that the Internet has to be the model of free speech and freedom.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
I come from the school who thought the Internet could be the great democratising force, that getting rid of the gatekeepers was a positive move.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
I don't see such a huge difference between online and 'in real life'. I think it has now become one and the same.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
The idea of the Internet as sort of open and democratic and free and with no hierarchy, the libertarian beginnings as it were, with peer-to-peer networks... I'd sort of like for everyone to just admit that we're beyond that now.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
If Twitter is worth seven billion next month, I'm happy for them to be worth six billion and spend a billion making it safer for people, for example.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
I hate it when everybody thinks I'm a... what's the word, a marauding mother! It's bigger than that.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
People have a right to have their lives witnessed; if we coexist with the systems that abuse people, then we have a duty to understand.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
Making a big commercial movie is hard when you think about how many of them flop.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
I think it is a great gift to make people laugh, and it shouldn't be underestimated.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
I've walked down the street with Madonna, and I've walked down the street with Colin Firth, and it was a little bit more... with Madonna they were a little rougher, but they were all there for Colin. It was amazing. Women adore him. They swoon.
Quote by -Beeban Kidron
I once gave a talk at a girls' school and, once I'd finished, 29 out of the 30 girls wanted to be film directors. I think that's where we need to get girls interested in making films. We need to give them the idea that they can, that it's one of the things on their horizon.
