"I'm pretty much a London boy, and it was a big enough city to try and conquer. I wanted to make movies obviously, but to come over here where there's so many people trying to do the same thing slightly frightened me. enjoy inviting audiences into the mind of my characters as much as into their stories. Even now, having this conversation, we know there's a million things that I'm not saying and it's the 'not saying' that is part of the journey." |
