“Matthew´s great. I love him. We’ve gotten along so well during Pride & Prejudice. Our actual relationship for some reason we see each other and just laugh the whole time. We were always partnered up, and we would piss ourselves laughing. And we thought that should be a part of their relationship in the movie as well. It is in the book. They find each other funny. She finds his exploits funny. It’s a nice part of her character in there because it gets so dark so quickly.”

“Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life. The man who, with the clarity of passion, made love to you in the library. The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame.”
“I didn’t want to cast people who looked like each other though. What I did rather, was to find mannerisms that they all shared.”
(Joe Wright, Director)
“Pride and prejudice is a youthful book, written by a twenty one year old girl when she wrote the first draft. So it’s got great energy, and I wanted that speed and energy running through it. I wanted that youthful telling of it. That’s not because I wanted a youthful audience, but because it was written by somebody young.”
