Truth Is I Don't Think God On

Every Film I've Ever Worked On, And That Includes 'braveheart' And 'trainspotting,' I've Always Witnessed A Director Having A Breakdown. Every Director Will Have A Day, Without Exception, Where They Just Can't Do It Anymore, They Don't Know What To Say To Their Cameraman, Their Cast. It's The Sign Of Real, Physical Exhaustion.

Just In Relation To Women, It's Not That Huge An Imaginative Leap To See The Connection Between The Taliban And The Catholic Church.

When Things Are Really Painful, I Turn It Into Comedy.

Life Is Much Weirder Than Fiction; Nothing's More Absurd.

It's Not So Much That I Want To Direct But That I Have To. When I Write Something It Terrifies Me That If I Give It To Someone Else And It Doesn't Turn Out As It Could Have Done, I'd Feel As If I'd Orphaned My Baby.
