Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.

I read loads. There's quite a lot of stuff online.

I don't read reviews.

I was never that comfortable in front of the camera, it always terrified me.

I don't think estates are grim places.

I work best when there is adversity: I seem to get calmer the more the fur is flying.

I grew up with a lot of Hollywood films. Cozy farm houses, cowboys, nice flats in New York. Especially as a kid, those things have a huge impression on you.
