I've learned a great deal about a certain type of filmmaking. But I have ambitions toward another type of filmmaking that I haven't been allowed to engage in yet.

I think I still have that same drive and determination, the same curiosity and passion for filmmaking that I did when I first started. Every film brings with it unique challenges and experiences, and I approach every one with the same enthusiasm.

I made a commitment to myself; that I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to do films that make a difference. It has to move people.

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.

I became a director just for the love of movies, because of the power of cinema.

I love filmmaking, but I decided to go to drama school because I thought that when I'm 60 and looking back on my life, if acting hadn't been a part of it, I would hate myself.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.

Film is something I've always loved since I was very young. In fact, I actually wanted to study to be a filmmaker when I was younger.
