We must ensure that while eliminating child labor in the export industry, we are also eliminating their labour from the informal sector, which is more invisible to public scrutiny - and thus leaves the children more open to abuse and exploitation.
I love films for the fact that it is like working under a microscope. It is sort of like a laboratory.
I wouldn't just lay my voice on anything. But I'd love to do a collaboration, like a Calvin Harris track, for example.
'You Can't Take It With You' has eighteen people onstage at one point. Musicals entail a larger collaboration, and I love that.
Part of debunking the mythology of filmmaking is that we tend to want to locate it often in one person. And it's not one person. It's a collective, and it is a collaboration.
After all, despite the economic advantage to firms that employed child labor, it was in the social interest, as a national policy, to abolish it - removing that advantage for all firms.

What I enjoy is a collaboration. Working with other like-minded people. People who have brilliant minds and big hearts.
