I'm not actually a big musical fan.

When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn't have. And, in hindsight, I've almost always been wrong when I haven't listened to myself.

I spend many months in apparently listless rumination out of which I hope something will emerge.

I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.

Film has become such a central part of our culture now that I think sometimes too great a weight is placed upon it in terms of scrutiny and analysis. There's a lot of rather specious professorial stuff that swirls around films.

I've been very lucky.

At a certain age it just became apparent to me that this was probably the work that I would have to do.
