Writing and directing your own film, for me, has been the best experience of my life.

I've been able to make some wonderful films, but sometimes you make films with great passion - great belief - and these films slightly don't work at the box office, and they become your favorite films.

I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.

I love the work that goes into making a movie and creating a different world. It is a wholesome experience.

The whole point of film for me is that it's such a joy. It's such a wonder. The possibilities are literally endless in terms of what you can creatively do.

Film is the toughest one for me, as there are many fingers in the pot, so it can be disappointing. However, to have your work seen on such a large scale, that's a very exciting prospect.

Every film that I have done has a special place in my heart.

I don't want to make pompous, serious films; I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.

I'm never going to be inspired by some obscure film, which isn't to say I don't enjoy that sort of thing. I just want to share my work with everyone.

That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.
