Sometimes beauty can be a trap.

You can't always do exactly what you want, and often compromises have to be made.

You begin to understand, as a filmmaker, that there are different ways of approaching things. Everything doesn't have to be quick cut, like MTV.

I seem to have emerged from the relative obscurity of TV.

My most famous drama in England is quite controversial. It's something called Men Only, and it's rather a shocking exploration of male sexuality.

You tend to get a script and you push it toward being the kind of film you want to make.

I've got a very wide taste in art. I like Russian icon painters. I like Salvador Dali. It's like music. Sometimes you want to hear Led Zeppelin, and sometimes you want to hear Stravinsky. It just depends.
