I Think The Reality Is Important Anyway.

As Long As You Keep Your Budgets Small, There's A Way Of Making Films.

I Don't Want To Think Too Much About Me.

I Can't Remember Why Or How I Started Writing, But I Think It Was Always A Way Of Making Sense Of The World.

I Wonder Whether My Bleak-o-meter Is Set Differently From Other People's. I Have Such Passion For What I Do That I Can't See It As Bleak. When People Use That Word, Or “grim” Or “gritty,” I Just Think, “oh, Come On, Look A Bit Deeper.” My Films Don't Give You An Easy Ride. I Can See That. The Sense I Get Is That People Have Quite A Physical Experience With Them. They Feel Afterwards That They've Really Been Through Something.

Interestingly, I Never Thought Id Do An Adaptation. Ive Also Been Quite Against Them. I Think Trying To Translate One Medium To Another Is Wrong. I Never Really Felt That Books Fitted Into Film. Generally People Are Disappointed, Arent They?
