Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

I like to cook things very slowly.

I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.

The word Amendment itself is an encouraging thing, isn't it? Because an amendment, it tells of a system of government that allows for the improvement of itself. Just move forward a little bit, one day at a time.

There's nothing worse than finding yourself in a situation, a very demanding piece of work, and knowing that you're not a true ally to the person who's in charge of all that.

I don't torture myself. And I do the work because of the pleasure involved. I'm satisfying a compulsion I find nigh-on irresistible. It's not necessarily because of the work itself. I just feel the need for a period of regeneration afterwards. Like leaving a field fallow when you've grazed too much on it. I feel depleted.
