In our house we say 'adolescence' is a western word. We don't believe in it.
If we don't tell our own stories, no one else will.
It is because my roots are so strong that I can fly.
We have three generations at home, including my father-in-law. I keep a very low profile, and a lot of things I do are very much with the family in mind. I have actually made films with the family around me.
I am an independent film-maker first and foremost. I have always cut my own cloth.
We all know the power of film; we all know there's almost nothing more powerful than to see people on film that look and talk like you, like we do.
