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.

I think there's a real problem if you're making a film - some people have done whether it be about Jackson Pollock or about Picasso - it's difficult for actors, because they have to impersonate a person whose image is very strong in our memories or in our consciousness. It's something that's very tricky, I think.

I wanted to actually make people look at a painting. We don't look at paintings that much. We glance at them.

It's really exciting. It's really exciting when you do a piece of work, and people like it, and it gets noticed.

If you come out of British TV, they're kind of saying, "Here's the keys to the kingdom. You are now going to go off and become a moviemaker. If you do really well, then the world is your oyster.

I don't want people to pigeonhole me.
