I had no interest in really becoming an actress or doing that kind of thing... I just knew that I wanted to do something in making films.

I have no schooling in any normal sense but have learned from the best as far as just doing things. I learned filmmaking from loving movies and then just saying, 'OK, let's do it.'

I came to filmmaking because it's my passion. I decided I can't have it distorted or marred by someone else deciding what it should be.

I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.

I always wanted to be a filmmaker and became one through sheer single-mindedness. I came to filmmaking from a background in graphic design. I went to film school at Newcastle Polytechnic.

If it's a choice between doing a film and not doing a film, I'd rather not. But then, you remember that you're supposed to be earning a living and that it's your career.

I never really planned a career. I've tried to avoid it. I've tried to do this stuff I felt for, the stuff I like. So, I've just been meeting these fantastic directors who've offered me a variation of different parts and different films.
