I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
I prefer to conduct my life based on how I treat people.
I don't mind tracksuits. At the track.
I don't mind what I play, really.
I don't need to be liked.
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
My father could be very distancing. My clearest memory is of him squatting, watering plants for hours and hours at a time, completely silent. He was very self-contained; my mother was more outgoing and chatty and social. I'm certainly more like her.
Politics is not really my thing.
I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
I go around the world, working with all kinds of people who I love.
I think probably when I was little, after my brother turned on me, I just had to play by myself or with myself. I've always done that. I think either it's some kind of weirdly competitive streak or it takes my mind off whatever's bothering me.
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
I like very much to do movies.
I mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.
