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.

I know I can be bolshy and really unpleasant, and it always happens if I lose confidence in the people I'm working with. If I've got no confidence in what I'm doing and they don't provide me with some assurance that we're doing the right thing then I bully people. I'm a horrible bully.

You have to think about whether that Mercedes-Benz you have is actually worth how much it costs to you.

Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.

Successful films are very dangerous things.

I tend to do things that I'm very frightened of. That's what I do.

My body is a baby machine.
