Independent Filmmaking Has Always Been There And

I Wonder If I Would Have Been Capable Of Producing Anything If I Worked In A More Conventional Way With A Prewritten Script, Because I'm Of The Procrastinator Class.

When I Was Young I Used To Sit In The Cinema Thinking Wouldn't It Be Great If You Could Have A Film In Which The Characters Were Like Real People Instead Of Being Like Actors.

I Make Films Because I Am Endlessly Fascinated By People. I'm Fascinated Immediately To Know About The Lives That Are Going On Around Me. That Is What Drives Me. And That Is Because Everybody Matters, Everybody Is There To Be Cared About, Everybody Is Interesting And Everybody Is The Potential Central Character In A Story. Judging People Is Not Acceptable.

A Lot Of The Reasons That I'm Resistant To Making Films In The U.s. Have Nothing To Do With Not Doing A Film In Hollywood, But Rather To Do With What I'm Committed To Working On In The U.k. I Feel Very Committed To The British Film Industry And Infrastructure.

I Mean, Artistic Processes Are All About Making Choices All The Time, And The Very Act Of Making A Choice Is The Distilling Down And The Getting To The Core Of What It Is That You Care About And What You Want To Say, Really.
