One movie is only one movie. I want to have a lifetime of making films.

Confidence is essential, but ego is not.

You just never know when movies are going to take off or not. The lucky thing about this was that it didn't cost a lot of money, and therefore there wasn't loads of pressure on me.

As a first-time director in America, I feel I've been very fortunate.

I still can't quite believe it. Although there was something about the fact that it was a first-time writer, a first-time producer, and a first-time director all at the same time.

If you're doing a classic play, where if you do a Chekhov, you do the words as written. You can't do that with a novel; you have to do your version of the words as written.

I've made movies that cost less than one car chase. But that's part of the pleasure of doing it, pushing yourself in new directions.
