I'd like to win a Booker Prize for writing. A Nobel Peace Prize for my work in peace... and I think that'll probably do.

But you talk to most filmmakers and it is six, seven, eight years trying to get things off the ground. It is incredible really.

For me, what makes great actors, always is how truthful they are to the character and the story and the emotion that they're trying to tell.

People are scared to make something that doesn't look like another film that made a lot of money. It means we get 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' made again and again.

I like people like Ani DiFranco, a band called Elbow, of course John Lennon, George Harrison, Barry White. I have a lot of different influences and hopefully they all come together and make some sense.
