Of Course, Like All Film-makers

I Have Always Believed That There Is A Need For Life-affirming Films.

I Never Feel More Myself Than When I’m Writing; I Never Enjoy Any Day More Than A Good Writing Day.

I Looked Around And We Were About A Mile-and-a-half From Land, And I Thought, 'ok, I'm Going To Drown Now.' And Then I Started To Flail Out And Panic. I Gradually Calmed Down And I Got Home. But The Reality Was That In That Moment I Was Panicking And I Feel Like That To Me Was The Clue About Ripley, That Ripley Constantly Finds Himself Out Of His Depth In The Film And Then Reacts Very, Very Badly.

The Best Thing About Writing Has Been The Writer's Life, The Sense Of Being Expressed, The Ownership Of The Day, The Entirely Specious Sense Of Freedom We Have, However Slave We Are To Some Boss Or Other. I Wouldn't Trade It For Any Other Life.

You Know, You Lose A Lot Of Social Skills If You’re A Writer. You Spend Too Long Alone. And It’s Forced Me To Address That.
