Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well they embrace you.

I did this Super-8 film at art school called 'Tissues ' this black comedy about a family whose father has been arrested for child molestation. I was absolutely thrilled by every inch of it and would throw my projector in the back of my car and show it to anybody who would watch it.

For me pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

There are neither good nor bad subjects. From the point of view of pure Art you could almost establish it as an axiom that the subject is irrelevant style itself being an absolute manner of seeing things.

But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.

It absolutely helped - to write the father in both 'Juicy' and 'Beasts ' I had to see the whole story from his point of view. All of a sudden I understood more of what my own father must be going through - the fear the frustration the anger... the hope that he'll leave a legacy.

People are always angry at America. They're absolutely certain that America either caused their problems or is deliberately not fixing their problems. But the anger is always directed at America and never at Americans.

We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

Turns out I couldn't catch them - or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.

I just want to work forever. I absolutely love what I'm doing. I learn all the time from all these amazing artists.
