I Prefer To Be Subcultural Rather Than

I Start With Actors That I Know Personally Or I Know Their Work, And There Are Things About Their Work Or Their Presence Or Their Own Personality That Make A Character, That Exaggerates Some Qualities And Suppresses Other Qualities. It's Always A Real Collaboration For Me.

I'm Not Putting Down Anyone That Does Look At Their Work In That Way, But For Me I Am A Hardcore Amateur.

Life Has No Plot, Why Must Films Or Fiction?

I Always Start With Characters Rather Than With A Plot, Which Many Critics Would Say Is Very Obvious From The Lack Of Plot In My Films - Although I Think They Do Have Plots - But The Plot Is Not Of Primary Importance To Me, The Characters Are.

I Always Think The Sex Pistols And The Ramones As Very, Very Important Because They Stripped Things Down.
