I Don't Want To Think Too Much

I Wonder Whether My Bleak-o-meter Is Set Differently From Other People's. I Have Such Passion For What I Do That I Can't See It As Bleak. When People Use That Word, Or “grim” Or “gritty,” I Just Think, “oh, Come On, Look A Bit Deeper.” My Films Don't Give You An Easy Ride. I Can See That. The Sense I Get Is That People Have Quite A Physical Experience With Them. They Feel Afterwards That They've Really Been Through Something.

I Always Think That If You Look At Anyone In Detail, You Will Have Empathy For Them Because You Recognize Them As A Human Being, No Matter What They've Done.

I'm Never Going Back To The Past. It Is Like When I Am Driving - I Never Like To Do Those Routes That Take You Backwards And Make You Go The Long Way. I Always Like To Do The Shortcuts And Go Forward.

Films Are All About Decisions, And That's What I Love.

I Can't Remember Why Or How I Started Writing, But I Think It Was Always A Way Of Making Sense Of The World.
