I can cry at the drop of a hat. I've always found that easier than laughing in films.

Often, people who want to make interesting films simply don't have the money to do it.

With young people, there's often that carelessness, allowing yourself to get into danger - recklessness, I suppose.

It is frustrating when in an interview people say: 'Give us your make-up tips' and 'How do you stay skinny?' I think: 'Do you ask a guy that?

I'd rather make an interesting film that gets people talking, that maybe some people hate, than make the kind of 'entertaining' film that everyone feels ambivalent about.

I felt much better when I started to become myself a bit more and to spend time with people who I genuinely liked as opposed to the people I felt I should be spending time with.

For me, I see filmmaking as art.
