Film-making is a physically hard job.
A lot of directors prefer the solitude of the editing process, but I revel in the craziness of what a film set is.
Period recreation is very difficult unless you make a black and white movie.
The films that I do tend to polarise people's views.
Well, if you ask any filmmaker how they got into it, everyone came a different route. Ive never actually watched another director work.
I turn on the TV sometimes, start watching something and think: 'This seems quite good, a bit familiar.' Then I realise โฆ It's one of my movies. It's a pretty odd feeling.
