I don't have anything interesting to conceal or reveal in my private life, and it is really only my work and professional life that I want to talk about.

Sometimes I think people get into trouble because they can't say what they want to.

Going to hospital is rather like going to an alien planet.

I draw every day - unless I'm being interviewed.

But my sense in talking to people when I travel is that the film business is not that dissimilar from a lot of other businesses.

I'm fascinated with being able to travel the world via 'Instagram' and just be somewhere different.

The film of tomorrow will not be directed by civil servants of the camera, but by artists for whom shooting a film constitutes a wonderful and thrilling adventure.

Fortunately for me, my mother loved travel. Our first non-beach family trip abroad - to England, France, and Switzerland - came when I was 11, and thereafter, we often tagged along on my father's European business trips.
