Film Has To Be Reflecting The World

If Only Life Could Be A Little More Tender And Art A Little More Robust.

I Have Every Sympathy For Writers. It's A Mystery To Me What They Do. I Can Edit. I Can Cross Out And Say, 'i'm Not Saying That' Or, 'how About We Move This To Here? Wouldn't That Make That Bit Of The Story Better?' But Where Any Of It Comes From Is Beyond Me. I Will Never Write A Play Or A Novel.

I Think Every English Actor Is Nervous Of A Newcastle Accent.

Snow Cake Is A Lovely Film. Really Proud Of That. We Shot It In 21 Days. I Thought Sigourney Was Amazing In It. And Very, Very Accurate. I Think There Was Some Element That Thought She Had Pushed It Too Far. But Not At All When You Do The Amount Of Homework She Had Done And Spent The Amount Of Time She Did With Adult Autistics. She Was Right On The Money. And I Think Marc Evans Is A Terrific Director. He's A Sweet, Open, Honest Man And A Really Good Director Of Actors.

If People Want To Know Who I Am, It Is All In The Work.
