Merit clears away obstacles.
Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.
My first cut that I showed the studio was probably 2hrs 20min.
3D doesn't work quite so well with quick cuts and I probably would have done some longer takes had I really taken that information onboard.
I was known for a while for doing very long takes, especially after Atonement.
I was really excited to try 3D and play with it really, again, experiment formally with that extra dimension.
One of the things I really love about 3D is that because as we grow older on eye weakens more than the other, 3D becomes more difficult for adults to watch than it is for children who have very balanced eyes often.
Only by living absurdly is it possible to break out of this infinite absurdity.
Poor creatures. What did we do to you? With all our schemes and plans?
In my hand luggage I always have my camera, iPod, make-up bag, tooth brush, cleansing products, clean underwear, socks and a change of clothes in case anything goes missing at the other end - and of course my passport.
Insect politics, indifferent universe. Bang your head against the wall, but apathy is worse.
