I kind of call myself an atheist, I suppose - although quite a spiritual atheist, I hope.

Events in the present can trigger quite a young part of ourselves. If we don't take responsibility and start looking after that young part of ourselves, we can start asking partners to look after that part of ourselves or we wound ourselves.

It's a nice way to put the focus back on this simple act... if someone creates you.

Film industry is a pretty brutal business. If you fall too far behind, all of the perfectionism in the world won't save you.

I like action movies, even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies, which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.
