I was terrible at school.

Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.

I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.

I never raise my voice!

I used to be so intensely preoccupied by unhappiness... now there are times where you might get down, but you can move on much faster now.

Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.

Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it's almost disgusting to fall in love.
