Making a film is very hard work, and you live or die by the sword just a little bit every time you do it, but I wouldn't chuck it in.

I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin, so you try to make the films really tactile.

I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.

The kinds of films that I'm used to doing are independent films. They're very small character-driven pieces, and there isn't as much spectacle involved.

As a director, I think it is important to keep a space between yourself and your film. It's like you are in the movie, but at the same time you are watching it from the outside.

A film is a great deal about what you see, and the silhouette of a character tells you a lot. I'd love to go into film costume.

You want to keep it in there because you feel like it's yours but to be able to see that sometimes some stuff needs to go and I think it's for the benefit of the film.

There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.

But the way that we've got it organized in our family, we try not to work at the same time, so I'm just now starting to look around. I think I'd like to do a film.
