I Don't Think You Can Question Your

For Me, Making Films Is About Trying To Work Something Out By Myself In Quite A Lonely Way. I Find The Whole Thing Very Lonely Really.

When Your Characters Are Really Living They Tell You What They Do.

I Always Think That If You Look At Anyone In Detail, You Will Have Empathy For Them Because You Recognize Them As A Human Being, No Matter What They've Done.

I Wonder Whether My Bleak-o-meter Is Set Differently From Other People's. I Have Such Passion For What I Do That I Can't See It As Bleak. When People Use That Word, Or “grim” Or “gritty,” I Just Think, “oh, Come On, Look A Bit Deeper.” My Films Don't Give You An Easy Ride. I Can See That. The Sense I Get Is That People Have Quite A Physical Experience With Them. They Feel Afterwards That They've Really Been Through Something.

I've Always Loved America.
