I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

Sorry, there's nothing like a screaming baby to make a mother twitch.

I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can't bear to see it in black and white. I think it's a fear of being pinned down.

After I left college, I went to work at the Royal Opera House in London, which became a real catalyst for me because it made me realize that I was interested in cinema and in the way life is thrust at you. So I started making films.

I love life. I think it's fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them.
