A lot of filmmaking is all about filtering out the bullshit.

Cycling keeps me lean and I need to stay in shape, especially as I still like eating chocolate and ice-cream! I like to go mountain biking too. Running is also good; it's what we were designed to do as humans, so it comes naturally.

My mother and I took over abandoned buildings to sleep in.

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.

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.

Only one guy can be world champion, and so if everyone else thought they were failures you'd have no one left on the grid.

For me writing and filmmaking is a therapeutic process. It reflects themes that I'm going through at a time in my life.
