I loved American filmmakers when I was growing up. I didn't get to film school or anything. I was a very bad student. I just devoured film, but there was a point in my teens when I started to run a little film society.

I don't think it's the job of filmmakers to give anybody answers. I do think, though, that a good film makes you ask questions of yourself as you leave the theatre.

My kids paid the price for my career. We can say it's for our family, but it almost never is. It's about us. It's just some of us can pretend better than others.

I like to write about things about which I have no answers, questions that trouble me. These things trouble me.

My father is always with me. But moving forward and making my father more proud of me is very important. Taking care of my family, as my father did, is even more important.

The first person on the BBC that played me was Huw Stephens. I was sat around my laptop with my girlfriend and my family, and it was super-exciting. It felt weird, and it sounded weirder, but it was great.

All glory goes to God. I can't describe what He's done for me and my family.

Manute Bol taught my family the game of basketball.
