I'm Old Enough To Have

Independent Filmmaking Has Always Been There And It's Not To Be Forgotten.

I Did Sit In Cinemas As A Kid Looking At English And American Movies Thinking, "wouldn't It Be Great If The Characters Were Like Real People?" And The Worst Thing Is Films Are Constantly Advertising Themselves, Drawing Attention To Their Style Of Things. But Actually I Make Films That I Think Are Extremely Sophisticated And Cinematic. But You Don't Want The Audience Thinking About The Bloody Film. You Want Them To Think About What's Going On, And Believe In It. Be Flies On The Wall, You Know?

People Have Been Very Resistant To Giving Me More Than The Standard Amount Of Money. So I Keep Making Films On A Similar Scale. Which Is Fine, But Also Frustrating.

I Mean, Artistic Processes Are All About Making Choices All The Time, And The Very Act Of Making A Choice Is The Distilling Down And The Getting To The Core Of What It Is That You Care About And What You Want To Say, Really.

I'm Old Enough To Have Friends And Contemporaries Who Have Long Since Retired, And That's Their Prerogative - Enough Is Enough; It Doesn't Mean A Thing To Me. But I Haven't Got Any Money, So, You Know, I Just Keep On Working.
