Andrea Arnold

I love insects. They are amazing. ”

Films are all about decisions, and that's what I love. ”

With a lot of films, people are sitting on the outside looking in, but I want the audience to get a bit more intimately involved with what's going on, so that they maybe can experience it a little bit more intensely. ”

My films don't give you an easy ride. I can see that. The sense I get is that people have quite a physical experience with them. They feel afterwards that they've really been through something. ”

I don't feel very revengeful in life at all. ”

People ask, 'Are your things autobiographical?,' and I think, no, they're not autobiographical directly, but of course my life has informed my work. ”

I don't think you can question your instinct; you should always trust it. ”

I grew up in a working-class family, so I guess you could say I write from what I know. ”

Whenever I get fed up with life I love to go wandering in nature. ”

I've got no education. ”
