I was a freestyle dancer; I wasn't trained.

Once I've finished a film I just want to get on and make another one.

For me, making films is about trying to work something out by myself in quite a lonely way. I find the whole thing very lonely really.

I was never that comfortable in front of the camera, it always terrified me.

I'm much happier behind the camera.

I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.

I can't remember why or how I started writing, but I think it was always a way of making sense of the world.

I am obsessed with why people turn out the way they are.

A lot of people have something to say about 'Wuthering Heights,' but nobody quite nails it.

I want to try and be instinctive as a writer and director.
