I Happen To Have A Public Profile.

I Like To Do Movies That Provoke Rather Than Reinforce Conservative Values.

There Are Conservative Values Where Certain Lifestyles Are Imposed And Everybody Should Have 2.4 Children And A Dog And A Cat And A House And You Should Feel Like God And You Should Believe In God And You Should Be A Capitalist. I Don't Buy Any Of That.

The British Often Shy Away From Any Cinematic Interpretation Of Real Sex. They Sometimes Have What I Call "subtle Sex," Which Is Really Introspective And Has Soft Music In The Background. Either That Or It's Played For Comedy. The British Are Kind Of Hung Up About Sex. They Find It Kind Of Titillating And They Make Jokes About It Because They're Nervous.

Most Of All I Don't Want To Be Bored. That's Why I'd Rather Do Something That Has Some Sort Of Ambition, That Risks Failing, Rather Than Make Safer, More Comfortable Choices.

I'm Not Elitist. I Like To Do Crowd-pleasing Stuff Which Is A Bit Smart, But Is Just About Belly Laughs.
