I can be shy, but I’m not really. I try to be better at overcoming these things people have said.

I always feel I am in the dark. You are never finished... it is not as if you can look back and think: ah... I know what I am talking about. You are only as good as your last job and are always struggling and striving and you never quite get to where you want to be.

I love films. I love music. I love poetry and stories. All of that I feel… I sort of get very excited and fed by.

I don't have any ambition to make lots of money or win an Oscar or anything like that. It's not about that for me.

I think the sensation of being moved by a piece of art is something that is really good for a person's soul.

Dustin Hoffman also never does the same thing twice which is totally stimulating because you're always getting something new from him. You never really know what he's going to do next, so you have to be on your toes.

I'd like to have a go at directing.
