What’s your favourite word?
Kerfuffle. Hard to pinpoint why. Maybe it’s all the fs? Or more specifically, the fuff? Hang on – why isn’t fuff a word? I’m going to try and make that happen.
What’s a dream that you have that you’ve yet to achieve?
My difficult 2nd film. I made one a few years ago – too many years ago now – which was hugely satisfying but most definitely a learning process. In other words, a bit of an embarrassment. The 2nd one is written, and much better, I think. But leaving it until tomorrow always seems easier…
At what job would you be terrible?
Working in a games arcade. I couldn’t be dealing with all those different, dizzying, deafening sounds all day. Makes me stressed just thinking about it. Let’s move on.
What’s one thing a parent taught you that completely changed your life?
To swaddle my infant son – who wasn’t sleeping at the time – like a burrito. He slept like an angel from that day on, which may have actually saved my life rather than just changing it. But he now hates Mexican food. Maybe that was the trade off?
