Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family.

The hardest scene for me is always the scene when I'm dealing with performances, when I'm actually looking at the guys and hoping that I'm covering it in the right way and that I'm handling it in the right way.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.

I think the guiding principle for me is working with people, because I don't know how long it's going to last, I want to seize the moment and work with people I want to work with.

I make a movie because it's something that inspires me.

Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because were from North England.
