People are not going to like everything.

I'm sure people would argue this, but I want to be different in everything I do. I don't think I've been the same in anything I've done, and I want to keep that up.

I wanted to write rather than do anything else. But 'cause I left school at 15, I didn't know what a noun was, still don't.

It's nice to have someone write a couture character for you.

My formative years were all about 'Star Wars' - the first three, not the last crap, obviously. I understood 'Star Trek' but it was too caricatured for me.

My scripts are always heavily noted. If I can take a director to one side and say, "Do you mind if we try this?," a few days before, that's usually a better way of doing it then on the day.

There's a difference between watching a film and watching a bit of cinema and enjoying a film as a piece of cinema.
