It's A Luxury To Be Able To

As For How Criticism Of Keats' Poetry Relates To Criticism Of My Own Work, I'll Leave That For Others To Decide.

When I Read Andrew Motion's Biography, I Wept. It's Something About The Purity Of The Story And How Fresh It Was Because Of The Love Letters Keats Wrote.

I Think Women Don't Grow Up With The Harsh World Of Criticism That Men Grow Up With, We Are More Sensitively Treated, And When You First Experience The World Of Film-making You Have To Develop A Very Tough Skin.

But I Think It's Quite Clear In My Work That My Orientation Isn't Political Or Doesn't Come Out Of Modern Politics.

It's Been Such A Deep And Amazing Journey For Me, Getting Close To John Keats, And Also I Love Shelley And Byron. I Mean, The Thing About The Romantic Poets Is That They've Got The Epitaph Of Romantic Posthumously. They All Died Really Young, And Keats, The Youngest Of Them All.
