I grew up in a working-class family, so I guess you could say I write from what I know.
Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.
I deliberately never read about films before I see them.
I'm sure most of us remember being a kid and you have all of this endless time where two weeks before Christmas feels like ten years. I used to go to bed to try and go to sleep to try and make it go faster.
I was never that comfortable in front of the camera, it always terrified me.
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.
