I'm too big a fan of rhythm and editing. I'd much rather my editing be brave than my shooting.

I'm a believer that people need to understand that filmmaking is not a perfect process for anybody. It is a process in which you find the film and the film finds you. And that is every film.

I don't know why I'm drawn to anti-heroes, but I certainly am.

It’s funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made! But even a quite good romantic comedy.

I want my audiences to be as open-minded as my characters.

I'm really specific in the way that I shoot. I've always had a very good sense of what I need in the editing room. I used to shoot in a way that drew more attention to the camera and I've tried, in each film, to draw less and less attention to the camera. I think when you pay attention to the shots, you're aware of the fact that there's a director.

When I write a film, all I think about is where the thing ends and how to get the audience there.
