My mum has always been quite free-spirited, and she has taught me a lot. I think that is probably why I have the sort of mind that I do.

I think, for me, Julian Schnabel set a great precedent in being able to cross over so successfully. I feel like his artwork is kind of big, grand, and bombastic, yet the films that he makes are very beautifully sensitive, and I just feel that his filmmaking sensibility is very different from his artwork.

I believe that life is short, and there is too much time wasted bearing grudges, and I like to move on.
