Sam Taylor
half inner pin since worse
I'm the lightest sleeper. I can hear a pin drop. It's been worse since I was ill. I think your inner ear is always half open, listening out for the faintest danger sign.
annoying
I'm annoying to be around because I keep twitching.
manifest
If you have the ideas, and you're a creative person, then you don't really differentiate in how your ideas manifest themselves.
art history people time
If you look at art history, at Goya or Gainsborough, it's always about acknowledging the people of your time who have influence.
bit drinking rein round running spend time yoga
I can be a bit extreme. I'll spend too much time running round the park, doing yoga and drinking green tea. I can get a bit obsessive. I have to rein it in sometimes.
relationship
In the old days, 'controversial' in a relationship meant same-sex or mixed races.
switch work
I'm motivated every second by my work; it doesn't switch off.
I'm not a shouter, and I'm not a bully.
acting interested people proportion seem specific staging work
I'm interested in the acting and staging of specific emotions, and so I work with actors. It's a small proportion of what I do, but it's always what people seem to focus on.
beneath fertile interested life line lived lives people present private public quite taking work
The line between private and public lives is a fertile one for me. I've lived quite a public life, and it's the reason I have used well-known people in my work. I'm interested in what's going on beneath the facades they present to the world, taking them to a place which is uncomfortable.
constantly hard sit
I'm twitchy. I think I've got ADD. I find it hard to sit down. I need to be constantly challenged; otherwise, I get very... well, I guess 'bored' is the word.
power
In 'Fifty Shades,' seemingly, Christian has all the power and control - but actually, Anastasia does.
distance thinking defining-moments
I think you only see experiences as defining moments with distance.
kids house want
I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.
