To make a film, the final big collaborator that you have is the composer.
As I have got older and become a father, there's less and less time for films.
No matter how many times you do it, you don't get used to the sadness - for me at least - of coming to the end of a film.
I really subscribe to that old adage that you should never let the audience get ahead of you for a second. So if the film's abrasive and wrongfoots people then, y'know, that's great. But I hope it involves an audience.
The films that I love are very straightforward stories, like really old-fashioned stuff.
But I'd be lying if I didn't say that every time you go to make a film, you're desperate to either do it better than you did it last time or to not repeat yourself.
