I've Long Since Stopped Worrying About How

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.

The Good Thing From My Perspective Is That Nobody Puts Any Pressure On Me To Say What It's Going To Be. The Backers Accept That They Don't Know What They Are Going To Get.

But Films Should Be Voyeuristic. What Else Is A Film If You’re Not Snooping Into Somebody Else’s Lives?

My Work Requires Acting At Its Most Committed - It Demands Actors Of Enormous Resilience, But Also Intelligence And Wit. It Doesn't Work For Narcissistic Or Selfish Actors.

I Think The Camera Has Got To Be Motivated. You Can't Have Things Arrived At Gratuitously. Everything Has To Have An Organic Function, But The More Comfortable I've Become And The More Imaginative And Sophisticated And The More Exploratory I've Become At The Medium, The More I've Subtly Deviated Away From That In Various Ways.
