I always find it extremely hard to remember the act of beginning. I almost deliberately forget it.

I think striking the right tone for your story is, if you like, the alchemical work of writing.

I do believe we're all adaptable, and you're probably more adaptable than you realize.

I don't think good films have messages.

I'm trying to get under people's skin in a way. I don't like films that go in one ear and out the other.

Although filmmaking is collaborative and involves trust, ultimately it is the director who holds the whole picture together in their head.

I, myself, don't like to see a film on Friday night and then forget it by the next day.
