It's funny to be pigeonholed so late in life but there we are.

The last couple of years have been a write-off, though I'm beginning to feel like a person now. My energy is coming back.

I had been feeling a little rum. I didn't think it was anything serious because years ago I felt a lump and it was benign. I assumed this would be too. It kind of takes the wind out of your sails, and I don't know what the future holds, if anything.

I like being outside and working with the elements. The elemental aspects of it. The physicality of it.

I believe that I am past my prime. I had reckoned on my prime lasting till I was at least fifty.

I feel now like a hinge between generations, which is strange. It just happened recently. I think it's because my daughter is so much like me at her age. I feel like I'm reliving my own mother's experience of raising me.

If someone is going to talk about the process of making a film, it should be the director.
