« When I look back upon the choices I made in making Mansfield Park, I feel they were pretty ballsy. I just thought there has to be a reason why I was doing a period piece. I wanted to say, 'Look, we are rich because of slavery. We stole people and made them into slaves. Nothing comes for free.' I didn't want to do another English dance party. »
