The world is an infinitely fascinating, tragic and humorous place.

I made my first film on 16mm. Then I began using 35mm.Then I began working in Hollywood. And I began to really understand how films were made by professionals. I have to say I wasn't very impressed.

I had no plans to be a director.

I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient.

But I don't have such a strong desire to need to get away from filmmaking.

It's difficult working with very rich actors, because inevitably they become a little spoilt, and the managers and agents tend to control things more than is healthy.

Then I became interested in drama, and almost by accident, I drifted into film.
