I don't really enjoy filming.

The movie business is very much like that: people in authority making purely emotional decisions instead of interesting rational ones.

I'd made these experimental films but I thought the major chore of a filmmaker was to relate to actors.

I was quite surprised how easily people wanted to pigeonhole things I've done.

It means that if they misunderstood Comfort and Joy, they misunderstood my other films.

Perhaps naively I thought people understand what humor was, that it was invented by the human race to cope with the dark areas of life, problems and terrors.

At the moment, my mother is the only one left in Glasgow, although it's certainly my home.
