What is really important to me is a sense of humour and a mischief about life. Life is just too boring otherwise.

Creative freedom is an imperative for me, but it doesn't really exist in a Hollywood game.

They say now in America that final cut doesn't mean anything. As Harvey Weinstein said to some film-maker, 'You can have final cut. I'll open your film in Arkansas.'

I am an independent film-maker first and foremost. I have always cut my own cloth.

I want to question what the outside is and who defines it. I often find those that are considered to be on the outside extremely inspiring.
