“I lost my father and went into a process of grief with it that was all...” — Justin Kurzel Quote

I lost my father and went into a process of grief with it that was all about how to replace that grief, how to fill it, and I think there was something very desperate in the way that I was replacing it.

I think 'Macbeth' was a play that I've always gotten so much out of. My wife played Lady Macbeth in a play, and I designed it. There are things in there that are just kind of extraordinary.

The wonderful thing about cinema is you can bring a 3D world to life.

We all want to belong to something, and we all want to feel as though we have a legacy, and when you see two characters that have had that taken away from them, I think that just feels very real and very human.

I think I'm slightly OCD. I'll be desperate to get a part, but as soon as I do, the sense of pride wears off almost immediately, and fear of not doing a good job sets in. I'll think, 'This is a dream come true,' and then, 'It's not OK until I get a good review.'

There are no desperate situations, there are only desperate people.

I watch lots of American shows like 'Desperate Housewives' and so on.

In LA, I mean, here's this place full of desperate and sad people who take their only pleasure from destroying others for the purposes of their own self-aggrandizement.

I felt desperately sad, because it's a real shock in the 21st century, where we're fortunate to live in amazing country like the U.K., that there are areas where young women feel so desperate about what their future should be.
