I don't think you can question your instinct; you should always trust it.
I grew up in a working-class family, so I guess you could say I write from what I know.
I never write with an actor in mind - never.
I work best when there is adversity: I seem to get calmer the more the fur is flying.
I just like doing things from my own head.
I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.
