It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system.

I'm not saying it's for everyone, but it's better to be alone than in a lousy relationship.

Ultimately, you're left with the people you love and who love you- everything else fades into oblivion.

I didn't do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer.

As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.

I believe the experiences of life are more important than any film you make.

I have a little bit of a belly, a tiny bit of pooch. It's the one thing I don't want to lose. I just like having some softness. If I lose that, then Tom might leave me.
