When you're doing a film, people are always telling you exactly what to do. Literally, your own decisions are taken away from you.

I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours, but he survived the whole war.

I only remember the end of my dreams, like waking up at a steering wheel, or falling.

I'm not that kind of Bob Dylan, tortured creative.

I'm probably a little too uninhibited.

I would like to work with whoever would like to have me.

I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege.
