I am relatively familiar with getting a good old rumping from the critics. In some cases, the critics just didn't like the film - fair cop. Others, I think, didn't understand it.

If you change the rules on what controls you... you will change the rules on what you can control.

I like filming in the UK - I'll sleep in my own bed, which I'm really happy about.

I think there's a natural system in your own head about how much violence the scene warrants. It's not an intellectual process, it's an instinctive process.

We are not that flash, me or the missus. In fact, we are quite low-maintenance.

I suppose directing on set is the most fun because it's a good crack and you feel you're on the battlefield whereas writing is a fairly solitary undertaking.

It's OK to have beliefs, just don't believe in them.
