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.

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

I always think that if you look at anyone in detail, you will have empathy for them because you recognize them as a human being, no matter what they've done.

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.

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

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

Whenever I get fed up with life I love to go wandering in nature.
