I Love It When Actors Come To

There Was A Big Drive When I Was At Art School To Make You Aware Of The Economy Of Meaning - After All, This Was Still During The Tail End Of Minimalism. Being Responsible For Everything You Put In Your Picture, And Being Able To Defend It. Keeping Everything Clear Around You So You Know What Is Operating. To Open The Wound And Keep It Clean.

I Didn't Like England. I Couldn't Take The Look Of The Place Or The Style Of Friendship. I Need More Intimacy From People Than Is Considered Okay There, And I Felt That My Personality And My Enthusiasms Weren't Understood. I Had To Put A Big Lid On Myself.

It's A Luxury To Be Able To Tell A Long Form Story. I Love Novels, And I Love To Have A Long Relationship With Characters.

I Did This Super-8 Film At Art School Called Tissues, This Black Comedy About A Family Whose Father Has Been Arrested For Child Molestation. I Was Absolutely Thrilled By Every Inch Of It, And Would Throw My Projector In The Back Of My Car And Show It To Anybody Who Would Watch It.

I Had This Spooky Psychological Thing About 'the Piano' Before It Began, Which Was How Everybody Was Going To Go Nuts On The Set. Because A Film Tends To Set Up The Way People Are Going To Behave.
