To me the question of inspiration is an exercise in hindsight. The truth is inspiration is mysterious at the time. I don't think it's ever a rational process.

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

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

I think every single person perceives things differently. We are all singular.

I don't think good films have messages.

The point is the 'me' that you see before you is not the 'me' in my private little space, shape-shifting into the writing role, nor is it the 'me' that works with the actors. Here, at the end of the film doing interviews, I feel like I'm in disguise.

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