I Always Approach Film As A Fan.

Being Movie Director You've Got The Art Department, You've Got The Actors, You've Got The Camera Department, You've Got Make-up And Hair, And Props. You've Got Your Finger In All These Pies, And You're Making Sure That Everything Cooks At The Right Temperature.

If You're Dealing With A Character That Actually Exists, There's An Awful Lot Of Information There. So, You Can Put Together, From The Information, Motivations, Insecurities, Reactions. Where Does That Seed Get Born, If You Like?... What I Do Is Put That Together.

Trying To Identify And Understand, As Opposed To Judging, Is Very Important For Me, In Approaching Characters.

If There's Friends Around, I'll Cook. Or If I Have A Girlfriend. But On My Own I Kind Of Fell Out Of The Habit Of It, And It's A Shame Really Because I Know It's Good For Me. It's Something Quite Therapeutic.

As An Audience Member, Those Studio Films Are Fun. I Like An Adventure Tale, And I Also Like To Go See Something That Has More Of A Social Pulse. I Like To Keep Learning And Trying New Things. And If The Scripts Are Good, It Doesn't Really Matter.
