Films are all about decisions, and that's what I love.

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.

Sleep your way to the top.

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.

I do believe some people can naturally act and don't know it.

I'm never going back to the past. It is like when I am driving - I never like to do those routes that take you backwards and make you go the long way. I always like to do the shortcuts and go forward.

I personally love to see films not knowing very much about them. When you see it, it's like a flower opening up. I deliberately never read about films before I see them.
