The Notion That Acting Is Simply About

Very Occasionally I Hire An Actor And Get It Wrong. The Actor Just Doesn't Trust The Process Or Me As Fully As I Thought They Would. In This Case, You Can Be Quite Sure That If An Actor Is Untrusting, It's Got Nothing To Do With Me Or The Process.

People Have Been Very Resistant To Giving Me More Than The Standard Amount Of Money. So I Keep Making Films On A Similar Scale. Which Is Fine, But Also Frustrating.

Independent Filmmaking Has Always Been There And It's Not To Be Forgotten.

I Mean, Artistic Processes Are All About Making Choices All The Time, And The Very Act Of Making A Choice Is The Distilling Down And The Getting To The Core Of What It Is That You Care About And What You Want To Say, Really.

I Try And Create For The Audience Something That Relates To Real-life Experience. When You're Meeting Somebody For The First Time, All You Have To Go On Are Your Preconceptions And Your Stereotypes And Whatever Else, But Gradually As You Get To Know Them, They Change. They Become More Three-dimensional, And You Start To See Them In Layers.
