The last time I was on a small set would've been probably My Left Foot.

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

I'm woefully one-track-minded.

I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.

It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me.

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

I've been very lucky.
