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

We have to look forward and keep filming new films and not get stuck in the past.

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.

The best films come about through experimentation.

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.
