Tragedy Makes You Grow Up.

If You Read Keats's Poems, They're Often Full Of Doubts And Anxieties. They Can Be Quite Tough.

I Think If It's Interesting, It's Interesting, And If It's Not, It's Not Working.

I Took Four Years Off After 'in The Cut' Because I Wanted To See Who I'd Be Without Work. I Even Tried Being A Hermit In The Wilderness In New Zealand. I Stayed In A Warden's Hut Two-and-a-half Hours Off The Routeburn Track Through The Fjords On The South Island. It Was Early Winter, So There Was No Electricity Or Running Water.

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.

For Me, Being A Director Is About Watching, Not About Telling People What To Do. Or Maybe It's Like Being A Mirror; If They Didn't Have Me To Look At, They Wouldn't Be Able To Put The Make-up On.
