I always get quite close to my script because I work quite hard on them.

I don't read reviews.

When your characters are really living they tell you what they do.

I grew up in a working-class family, so I guess you could say I write from what I know.

I don't feel very revengeful in life at all.

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

For me, making films is about trying to work something out by myself in quite a lonely way. I find the whole thing very lonely really.
