I love being scared, and I always have done. When I was younger, I was always reading books about the paranormal, UFOs, and crop circles. I liked the idea of people seeing faces in walls and twins that could communicate with each other telepathically. I really believed it, too!
Saoirse Ronan is just remarkable.
I don't know if it's a consequence of 'Black Mirror,' but I am slowly becoming more and more technophobic.
'Black Mirror,' now being on Netflix, can reach all kinds of different people all over the world - with the help of the Internet, rather ironically.
One of the things I'll always remember from my time with 'Black Mirror' is the sense of all the tongue and cheek, and very, very dark sense of comedy there, too.
I'm a massive Roald Dahl fan. I grew up reading his work and see a recurring theme - I have continued to love stuff that mixes the gruesome with a sort of humour. I'm drawn to that in my work.
Bette Midler is this sort of laser-precise whirlwind. We only worked together for two days, but her precision, before even shooting, was remarkable.
Winnie the Pooh was such a part of my childhood. My kindergarten was named Pooh Corner, after one of A.A. Milne's collections of stories.
Sometimes I've made mistakes and not really listened to my instincts, and I've done a project, and I've been disappointed with the consequence, I think, as a consequence of not listening to whatever part of me it is that, at its base, is interested in telling interesting stories.
I'm lucky enough to live in London, which is a boiling pot of every kind of language and background and demographic and sexuality and gender, and yet most of what we're seeing in the cinema is not reflective of that.
