I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.

I'm not picky, quite honestly.

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

I became conflicted in my late teens.

I am more greatly moved by people who struggle to express themselves...I prefer the abstract concept of incoherence in the face of great feeling to beautiful, full sentences that convey little emotion.

I avoid talking about the way I work. But in avoiding it I seem only to have encouraged people to focus their fantasies about me in an ever more fantastical way on the details that are not at all at the centre of the work.

Perhaps I'm particularly serious, because I'm not unaware of the potential absurdity of what I'm doing.
