I've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.

Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.

I think if I was ever really going to be more serious about writing I'd have to try and find some way to do it with other people. I do find the silence kind of eerie.

I think it's very repressive for a woman to be constantly told that she has to make films about women to better represent women, but then the reverse is not found.

If I have to spend prolonged periods of time in a trailer, I go mad. Stuck in a metal box doing nothing, I lie there paralysed with boredom.

It's hard for actors to have to deal with the fact that they pour so much into their character, but the audience might have a negative assessment of them.

The language of freedom-fighting was so co-opted by the baby boomers in order to express their now-hopelessly compromised ideologies that no other generation could emulate it without a smirk. This has created an apathetic generation in the West, with young people no longer distinguishing between the old order and the new.
