I think we all have a selfish gene which rises to the top, sometimes. But then we're also all capable of a sudden magnanimity.

The films I enjoy seeing are those that reveal lives I was unaware of... in different cultures or whatever.

I do always like to do things I haven't done before, so I'm always looking out for things in a different genre, or a different sort of character.

You can't be angsty all day or else it becomes a sort of pale angst.

I like reflecting the culture I understand best, spotting the idiosyncrasies of British people and revealing them to an audience in a way that amuses is what I find fun.

People smile at me as if they know me. I just smile back. They probably might know me.

I haven't got a writer's discipline.
