“Never trust a hippie. That's definitely my motto.” — Sam Taylor-Johnson Quote

Never trust a hippie. That's definitely my motto.

Snobbery just inhibits you.

I felt giving birth was the most creative act of all my creative acts - literally creation!

My mum has lived in Australia for 22 years now, and we have a rocky relationship. But at the same time it's one I want to maintain. I need her to be my mum. The relationship took a lot of rebuilding.

We must never take the public's trust for granted - our predecessors worked hard to earn it, and it is our responsibility to continually earn that trust.

I had my battles. I had my times of just being upset and God would show me, 'Hey, I'm right here, I'll walk you through this and it doesn't make sense now but just trust me.' That's where faith come in - trust.

Part of filmmaking is always a guessing game, and part of it is always a game of trust.
