What my father especially taught me was to not always take the safe road, the easy road. If you are going to do good work, you have to risk failing badly.

On the day we filmed the scene, a bee stung me. I screamed and cried so much they called a doctor, and my father said, "It can't hurt that badly!" But it wasn't the pain that upset me, it was the thought that I mightn't be in the film. Already the little professional.

I wake up every morning feeling lucky - which is driven by fear, no doubt, since I know it could all go away.

When my father died of AIDS, I knew I had to do everything in my power to prevent others from going through what he endured. I support AmFAR which provides funds for cutting edge AIDS research so we can find a vaccine and a cure.

I always felt too young and selfish to have children of my own.

Whats in the movie compared to what we shot is the tip of the iceberg.

I was definitely incredibly close to my dad, in a way that was all-encompassing. I am close to my mum, too, but there were areas that she and I did not share. So his loss to me was huge, personally and professionally. He believed in me, not just as a father, but as a director, and that always meant a lot.
