I realised that there's a more muscular approach to film-making that I found very inspiring.

The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.

I'd love to just think of myself as a filmmaker, and I wait for the day when the modifier can be a moot point.

I choose material instinctually - at the heart of it are characters that I feel are fresh and original, and allow for an opportunity to, I suppose, explore uncharted ground.

For some individuals - some soldiers, some contractors - combat provides a kind of purpose and meaning beyond which all else potentially pales in comparison.

I don't believe in censorship in any form.

War's dirty little secret is that some men love it. I'm trying to unpack why, to look at what it means to be a hero in the context of 21st-century combat.
