I've Always Loved America.

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 Find It Kind Of Weird That Directors Want To Put Themselves In Their Films.

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

I Read Loads. There's Quite A Lot Of Stuff Online.

I Work Best When There Is Adversity: I Seem To Get Calmer The More The Fur Is Flying.
