It seems to me the big weakness in most films is the writing. You can learn directing, but you can't learn writing.

If we believe in the free market, then that leads to the big corporations taking power, that leads to this competition to lower wages, and that leads to precarious work.

Ordinary people can be very articulate and very eloquent.

Gordon Brown is and always will be committed to the interests of big business, so there's no way I want to be involved in the Labour Party again.

Jeremy Corbyn's election was the most hopeful thing since the Labour Party began. He's the first Labour leader who's ever stood on the picket line along with workers.

I think if more women had been directing when I was a child, I probably would have gone for directing first. But, as a child, all I wanted to do was make movies.

I studied directing prior to acting and I've done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.

I want to die in the saddle. I love writing, producing, acting, directing.
