“If I can do a scene in one shot, it's in one shot. Most of my shots ar...” — Andrew Haigh Quote

If I can do a scene in one shot, it's in one shot. Most of my shots are pretty long. I think with 'Looking,' what we have in the first minute is a whole episode of a traditional TV show. I like to let things breathe; I like to let things have a certain tone.

I'm gay, and I know a lot of very liberal straight people, and, of course, they're absolutely fine, but they still won't necessarily come and see a film like 'Weekend.'

I wanted to make films since I was young. My background had nothing to do with anything creative, so it seemed an impossible task.

A lot of gay-themed films are terrible. And mainstream audiences and the press aren't interested, understandably.

I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die.

Being from a small town, no one else was going to breathe life into my ideas other than me, so I had to go out there and do it.

It's not that easy, but the moment the camera is switched on, I have to mould myself to breathe life into the characters I portray.

When I come up with a character, I know how he lives and breathes.

All the things you are liking in 'Breathe', the credit goes to the director and writer. As far as I am concerned, I have given my 1000 per cent to the character, and I will continue to give my heart and soul to 'Breathe' because this series means everything to me.
