Life Is Much Weirder Than Fiction; Nothing's

I Know Virtually No One Of My Age Who Can Remember A Hug, Or A Smile From Their Father, Or A 'let's Go Play Football.'

I Find The World More Absurd Now Than I Did When I Was A Kid.

If I'm At Home On My Own And The Writing Isn't Going Well, I Clean My House. And There Have Been Times In The Past Few Years When My House Has Looked Really Clean.

I Wanted To Dismantle The Bollocks That There's A Military Structure To A Gang, With A Leader, Second Leader, The Good Looking One, First Babe, Second Babe. It's Far More Arbitrary Than That And Their Values Shouldn't Be Romanticised. They Aren't Something You Want To Sign Up To.

Every Film I've Ever Worked On, And That Includes 'braveheart' And 'trainspotting,' I've Always Witnessed A Director Having A Breakdown. Every Director Will Have A Day, Without Exception, Where They Just Can't Do It Anymore, They Don't Know What To Say To Their Cameraman, Their Cast. It's The Sign Of Real, Physical Exhaustion.
