“I love shooting at dawn. I love the kind of preparation and the energy as you feel the sky lightening. I think it might be something to do with me old rave days, I don’t know. But I like dawns.

“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.

(Joe Wright, Director)

-Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 43.

“I cannot fix on the hour, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.” (Chapter 60)
