I make films about working class people.

My creative partner is a writer, and he's got an executive producing credit on this film. We've made three films together and I would never underestimate the impact of a writer.

The score is always the wonderful icing. The score tells you the emotional content of the film. What the characters don't say, the music can say.

But a writer's contribution is literary and a film is not literary. When you take that stuff off the page, and cast the people who are going to fit into those roles, that's what being a director is.

We all get paid very, very well, and we have responsibilities.
