I would love to be better at cooking but I hate cleaning up afterwards. I love the process of putting everything together and the chance of getting it right or wrong but it takes ten minutes to eat it and then ages to clean.

I think, as most people are, I'm fascinated with love, relationships, and my daily life so I'm very inclined to make films about those things.

That's the fun thing about making movies is that you get to do stuff. You get to be things, say things that you're not, kind of walk in someone else's shoes and play dress up and make believe. It's pretty cool.

It's really interesting for me as a filmmaker to go back and look at the films I've made and see where I was at that point in my life and also where my ideals were and the beliefs that I had and look at the ways I've grown and evolved and apply that to the next thing.

The first film I directed (Explicit Ills), I did when I was like 27 years old. I had been an actor for a certain amount of time, and then I was like, "I want to start directing."

When I'm driving I should make more of an effort with my iPod, but I'm too lazy to organise a playlist.

Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it'd be quite hard to live with - so I need to keep racing.
