Often I think the novels I read won't make very good movies - I better not say which I'm looking at for potential films! - but it's nice to have an excuse to just sit and read for a whole day.

I go into a movie sort of saying what it's not going to be.

I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.

I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.

Sometimes I get to see a movie that's adapted from a book that I haven't heard about or that I love the movie so much that I will, of course, read the book.

I only make movies that are interesting to me.

Some films I say no to and they end up working very well, but I don't care, I just want to do something exciting.

I love the movies, and when I go to see a movie that's been made from one of my books, I know that it isn't going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I also know it has an idea that I'll like because that idea occurred to me, and I spent a year, or a year and a half of my life working on it.

I really love to make movies.

I can't do a film if I don't start with the writing.
