I'm very superstitious about going on other people's sets. You have to ask permission of the director; you shouldn't just turn up and skulk about in the background. It's very rude. You have to ask them personally. It's like a vampire being invited into a house.

I genuinely try to make movies I'd want to go and see, movies that are a bit more challenging.

There's no way you can shoot low-budget stuff on lots of locations. It's just a practicality thing because every time you move, it costs time and money.

The only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.

The things that inspire people to think are what keeps a film alive.

Sometimes my scripts get so dissolved, and they're so different from when I wrote them originally, that I find it hard to find what I wrote in it.
