I'm a shy person, so I get really nervous going into interviews.

I was frightened. I hadn't really had any experience, and then all of a sudden I was thrown straight into doing interviews. Most people have build-up. I had none.

I guess I am actually quite shy, and I've always felt very self-conscious during interviews.

Interviews make me so nervous - I can't get a sentence out of my mouth.

I'm frightened of interviews.

I don't think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.

I love doing interviews that are about work that I do, films that I make. I am not very interested in the rest. I think I have always been quite reserved and a bit frightened of that whole thing.

I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone.

In general, I get nervous when I do print interviews because I know that whatever I say is going to be shown through the lens of whomever I'm talking to.
