I think that a real film fan experience is about a kind of omnivorous experience.

Derek Jarman shared the responsibility for making the film. He didn't necessarily know what he wanted - he knew what he didn't want - but you had to keep coming up with stuff.

I made The War Zone when I had just given birth to twins, and my post-partum frame was very much on display there.

Archetypes are always [in my film-making]. It's sometimes interesting to just flip them a little bit and see the underside.

I'm from the same planet as David Bowie.

I've been on the other side of the table many times, trying to get people to be sympathetic to projects, and I've been the victim of that kind of intense kindness masking extreme stupidity.

I'm a huge Marvel fan and the fact that they take the liberties that they do in filmmaking I think, if anything, that it dignifies the comics and it says, "Yeah. This is a strong enough, robust enough source. We can bend it, it's elastic. It's bouncy."
