Thank you to my wonderful actors, the triangle of man love which is Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and me. Im only here because of you guys. Helena, I hope that reference doesn't make you jealous.

My dad said, 'The thing that I was told that was really helpful was that I mustn't be afraid of the things I was afraid of when I was five years old'. The shock of his childhood had put him in this defensive crouch against the world, and he needed to know that he had a nice wife and kids and it wasn't the same any more.

My mum, in 2007, was invited by some Australian friends in London to a fringe theatre play reading of an unrehearsed, unproduced play called The King's Speech. Thank God she went, because she rung me up and said 'Tom, I think I've found your next film.' So with this tonight, I honour you, and the moral of the story is 'listen to your mother.'

Yeah, but the problem remains that its hard to find great scripts and great material. The truth is that The Kings Speech, which is great material, people werent lining up to finance it. It was thanks to people like Harvey that it did get financed. Im not na�ve, theres maybe material that I want to do that is still hard to finance. So I think that it remains that whatever success you have, it doesnt necessarily mean your films can be financed easily.

The thing that fascinates me is that the way I came to film and television is extinct. Then there were gatekeepers, it was prohibitively expensive to make a film, to be a director you had to be an entrepreneur to raise money.

I think its here to stay. I cant say this for America, but in England, if you look at investment Murdoch has made on Sky Television to bring 3D TV into the mass marketplace. Thats a pipeline that is going to need feeding. With people making that kind of investment, I think its here to stay. I suppose, for me, good films create the illusion of 3D anyway.

After my grandfather's plane took enemy fire, he was denied permission to land at the first available airstrip. In that classic British bureaucratic way, they said he had to go back to your own airbase in the Midlands. They crashed between the coast and the airfield.

Well, I'm half Australian, half English and I live in London. That is the only reason I came upon this story. My Australian mother, Meredith Hooper, was invited in late 2007 by some Australian friends to make up a token Australian audience in a tiny fringe theater play reading of an unproduced, unrehearsed play called 'The King's Speech.'

I have a ton of scripts sent to me. At the moment, Im frankly struggling to catch up. Im reading through all of the scripts. So I havent decided on what Im going to do next, but my first job is to catch up on the reading that Im behind on.

I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it's shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it's a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.

I decided to be a filmmaker when I was 12. I had utter clarity that this would be my life.

What I learned about stammering was that, when as a young child you lose the confidence of anyone who wants to listen to you, you lose confidence in your voice and the right to speech. And a lot of the therapy was saying, 'You have a right to be heard.'

With the coming of radio as a mass medium, suddenly the world changed. It became about, 'Can this leader project emotional connection through the way he speaks on the radio?' And the anxiety about whether he could do that, we've inherited.

Ive never actually yet shot on digital, but I am a fan of digital cinema projection. So my favorite route is to capture on 35mm and to project digitally because of the consistency of this digital projection system and its faithfulness to the way I graded it is so impressive.

When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'.

I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost his father in that war. So, through my dad and the effect it had on him of losing his father young, I always felt connected to the war. It goes back years, but it still feels to me as if we're completely living in it.

The hardest part of directing is the choosing. Unlike an actor who can do a variety of work, it is a year of your life, you can't afford to get it wrong.

The relationship that Tony Blair has with Cherie Blair doesn't have an immediate binding effect on the body politic with Britain. But in the Elizabethan court, whoever was Elizabeth's lover rose to the most powerful political player in the court, became a multimillionaire, had the power to bestow land and status to other people.

In 'The King's Speech,' patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment, the third of September, 1939, where the aggressor is clear, the fight is clear, it hasn't become complicated over time.
