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

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

I never write with an actor in mind - never.

A lot of people have something to say about 'Wuthering Heights,' but nobody quite nails it.

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.
