The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.

I just got to the point where I literally didn't want anyone else to do it.

In an ideal world the script is written lean and tight and therefore there are no scenes left on the cuttring room floor and therefore no extended edition.

I didn't want my kids having to pass through an airport named after their father.

Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.

And so I look back on not just the last ten years but everything that I've done as being sort of an ongoing growing continual film school. I mean I don't think I've got to a point where I've achieved anything that feels like, a particular milestone, but there's still a lot more to learn and hopefully a lot more films to make.

Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.
