You know, it's amazing. I don't even have a car, would you believe it? I had a motorbike and it got stolen last year. So I've got to buy another one of those, I suppose. I can treat myself to that.

Why does a three-year-old, and it's usually boys, want to drive the tractor or have machinery and be in control of it? I don't know. Why wouldn't you ask to boil a kettle or something? Maybe you would, I dunno.

Trying to identify and understand, as opposed to judging, is very important for me, in approaching characters.

Nobody wants to hear Metallica at lunchtime.

I don't like to plan anything ever because it never seems to work. I'm just really...let's just get this film out and see how this one does.

Being movie director you've got the art department, you've got the actors, you've got the camera department, you've got make-up and hair, and props. You've got your finger in all these pies, and you're making sure that everything cooks at the right temperature.

I always approach film as a fan.
