After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.

With the theatre, your whole day is geared towards the evening's show, and that's the job. People usually go to work about 9 and come home around 5, or maybe 7.

There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs.

I was terrible at school.

People will now go to films with subtitles, you know. They're not afraid of them. It's one of the upsides of text-messaging and e-mail. Maybe the only good thing to come of it.

I try to make films that I find exciting. It makes me want to get out of bed at five in the morning, have my make-up done and play for the rest of the day.

We all come in different shapes and sizes, and that's fine by me.
