As I get on and films take four years to complete, I tend to have a hankering for very short projects so you can move on to the next idea. It's the ideas I'm interested in. What comes out of your head.

I love doing features, but it's a very different ballgame. Sometimes I yearn for short films again, working with a small team, getting my hands on the clay.

Get out and make films. There are so many cameras now to suit any budget, so there are no excuses.

I think, for every phase of your life, you take something out of it, you learn from it, you grow from it. You just have to try to take what you can from it and then move on to the next phase of your life to be better.

Life is short. You have to be able to laugh at our pain or we never move on.

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.
