crazy long use
I imagine, in the future, life expectancy is long and they use crazy plastic surgery. Who the hell knows what's going on?
beginning-middle-and-end film ends
I love the finality of film. When you make a movie, you know the beginning, middle, and end.
I'm sort of the bossiest sister.
depressing independent people
I'm really interested in making movies that people see: I've made a lot of independent films and it's really depressing when no one sees them.

Where does virgin wool come from? The sheep that runs the fastest.
book character writing
I enjoy it too much - even if I knew I'd never get a book published, I would still write. I enjoy the experience of getting thoughts and ideas and plots and characters organised into this narrative framework.

People can be teachers and idiots; they can be philosophers and idiots; they can be politicians and idiots... in fact I think they have to be... a genius can be an idiot.

All our lives are symbols. Everything we do is part of a pattern we have at least some say in. The strong make their own patterns and influence other people's, the weak have their courses mapped out for them. The weak and the unlucky, and the stupid.
book usual film
By the usual reckoning, the worst books make the best films.

I just took [my cancer diagnosis] as bad luck, basically. It did strike me almost immediately, my atheist sort of thing kicked in and I thought "ha, if I was a God-botherer, I'd be thinking, why me God? What have I done to deserve this?" and I thought at least I'm free of that, at least I can simply treat it as bad luck and get on with it.
mean cynical speak
They speak very well of you". - "They speak very well of everybody." - "That so bad?" - "Yes. It means you can´t trust them.
