If I'm going to direct a horror movie, I'd have to be the one writing it, because I have to make it personal.
We live in a very masculine society, a very patriarchal society, still. So we also have the benefit of the experience of that society. We're not coming from 'women's world' into filmmaking, we're coming from 'the world.'
I have that wonderful release of growing up and thinking, 'I can do whatever I want. I can prioritise for myself.'
Because the job is still really exciting, and I still get nervous on the first day of shooting. But all the nonsense that surrounds it - that can be on your own terms.
I've always had far too much emotion to be Scottish.
I definitely have no stability in my world; I feel the need to be up and merry all the time.
I'm not a fan of horror movies at all, I'm a real wuss when it comes to the genre and I think 'The Woman' would totally scare me if I hadn't been working on it.
It's a pretty weird feeling when a wolf is scared of you.
I didn't find it that hard to channel the animalistic side of 'The Woman', I studied animals like apes and wolves, and researched how to throw off my feminine ways and just went out into the woods for a few days to learn how my body would feel if I had to do what she had to do.
It's funny that for women in horror, we have to use the term scream queen, because there is no term for a villain in horror who is female and powerful.
If you met me in London, you might be appalled at how English I sounded.
Mind you, I was a bit of a naughty one when I was younger.
But if you are young and want to work in the fashion industry and are not naturally skinny - which most girls are not - then you are forced to be unhealthy.
Getting married and divorced really is a learning experience.
