Truth Is I Don't Think God On

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.

It's Not So Much That I Want To Direct But That I Have To. When I Write Something It Terrifies Me That If I Give It To Someone Else And It Doesn't Turn Out As It Could Have Done, I'd Feel As If I'd Orphaned My Baby.

In Bringing The Subject Of Religious Oppression To A Wider Audience, I Didn't Just Want To Kick The Catholic Church But To Poke A Finger In The Throat Of Theocracy And To Let It Be Known That People Shouldn't Tolerate This Anymore.

There Are Some People Who Walk Into A Room And They Oxygenate It, By Their Very Being There's Fresh Air. Then There Are Those Who Come In With The Smell Of Death And They Suck The Life Out.

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.
