One of the things that's good for me is that I can go from one art form to another. Because I think if I had to write another novel now I would really not be good in my head anymore. It's too much. The frustration is so intense of knowing that this structure is right around the corner. Writing is a particular kind of frustration.

I've always been fascinated by the way that children and animals suffer stoically in a way that I don't think adults do.

Every work coming from the creator is about getting the demons out, and each character in those stories had a different personal crisis to get through.

I was always very curious about other people. I would always stare and my mother would say - just please close your mouth!

I saw Dolce Vita and my mind was blown by it, by the synthesis. I realised I wanted to be a filmmaker and started making films. I was writing screenplays and couldn't get money because my work was so uncommercial.

We all have to embrace the idea not to be worried about there being other women in the room. Gay men work with such solidarity.

I would have started writing a lot earlier if I hadn't been [Arthur Miller's daughter].
