[Woman Walks Ahead] is from me being a very bizarre child. From the age of about 8 to the age of about 15, I was obsessed with Native Americans.

No screenplay is possible, unless you get some attachment from somebody who's going to get it made.

Whenever I see a cut of a film and something is gone, I don't notice it unless it obviously should have been kept.

I am someone who thinks that if you've got an actor like that who wants to perform your work, then you should do it, and hopefully Tom [Hardey] likes to do the work that I do, so long may it continue.

I didn't direct [the Taboo episodes]. I wrote all of them.

I'm not suggesting that ours [series] is unique in that, but they can begin to have that depth, that gravity, they can spend some time, so it's a bit more like reading a good novel, if you like.

True stories are always good because they're so odd, and so unlikely.
