I had to help to coax the performances and I really enjoyed that extra responsibility.

We like to think that our parents made a decision to bring us into the world.

I want to direct but I think I'd be bloody awful and I don't want to produce but I think I'd be a very good producer because if I believed in something I'd be able to protect it.

I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out.

I've never been up with the times, always been slightly out of step.

Twelve years on sets watching directors, I've taken a bit from everybody and rejected a lot.

I don't like to watch playback. But being on the set, watching the way the camera is being moved and the way the light is being used, you do get an idea of it.
