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.

When your characters are really living they tell you what they do.

As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.

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

I hear filmmakers saying, 'I wanted to make to make a film about this issue, or this theme,' but I never start like that.

I can't remember why or how I started writing, but I think it was always a way of making sense of the world.

I am obsessed with why people turn out the way they are.
