When you have a character to work with, you carry them around in a strange way - they make you look at the world in a different way.

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 was quite a shy child – not chronically, but I tended to blend into the background.

I find it really hard to say anything coherent or interesting about the work I do.

Filmmakers tell stories to explore human nature, which is always a flawed thing.

My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.

I think I have a degree of confidence, but I also have terrible insecurity, like anybody does.
