I have no interest in movies that take you somewhere dark and leave you there, for no reason.

The only way one can guarantee one's loyalty is love. Loyalty is beyond logic, really.

I think when you're trying to produce a relationship on screen that doesn't actually exist, perhaps sometimes there's a temptation to look at each other more, to touch each other more...

I have an interest in giving people a cathartic experience, and making them look at homeless people differently, and making them question how they judge people, in general.

I realized that this story [Shelter] is all about family, family loss, and how it influences you day to day life.

I was brought up Catholic. I'm lapsed. From the age of three I was with the nuns. Now I'm an atheist. I think religion does a lot for us but I can't quite believe it, alas... It's just a personal choice. I love the idea of heaven though. Who doesn't? It's lovely.

It's weird, because usually if you're British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies in America.
