I'm Not A 'star Wars' Geek.

A Lot Of Film Directors Are Quite Scared Of Actors. They Are A Bit Of A Nightmare Sometimes, But I Like Them. It Looks Like Cunning, But You Try To Get Extra Things From Them All The Time, By Stealth, By Making Them Feel Confident, So They Trust You And You Can Push A Bit.

I Tend To Score With Songs From Western Pop Music.

One Of The Things In The Mary Shelley [frankenstein] Is That The Creature Tells His Story, So This Begins With The Creature's Point Of View. So, It Literally Starts With The Creature Opening His Eyes And Is Born - But Is Obviously In His 30s. But Because They're The Creator And The Created We Thought It Would Be Really Interesting If They Could Look At Each Other Every Other Night And Play Each Other's Roles.

Your First Film Is Always Your Best Film, In A Way. There's Something About Your First Film That You Never Ever Get Back To, But You Should Always Try. It's That Slight Sense Of Not Knowing What You're Doing, Because The Technical Skills You Learn - Especially If You Have A Film That Works, That Has Some Kind Of Success - Are Beguiling. The Temptation Is To Use Them Again, And They're Not Necessarily Good Storytelling Techniques.
