"For me now, it's about what you would write and what you wouldn't write, and that's how I select what I am going to do. It can be quite nice being brought a concept by a studio for me to work on."
Work
"Initially with The Butcher Boy, there was this kid growing up in this strange, weird environment that I remember from when I was a kid. And Patrick's vision was so complete there."
Vision
"My conception of it was that in a normal film you have a story with different movements that program, develop, go a little bit off the trunk, come back, and end."
Story
"It's nice to work with Hollywood because there is never any question of resources put at your disposal to make a film as long as it is the right thing to do."
Work
"In Dreams... well, I was slightly overcompensating with that. I was a bit like a director for hire, so maybe I was putting too much imagery that was familiar to me into it."
Dream
"Well, Company of Wolves was about that literally, about fairy tales."
Movies
"When you've written a movie, you then get together with a whole lot of people and make it. In many ways, I think it is far nicer to be with people rather than being completely solitary."
People
"It's the same thing in a way, although writing a book is a very solitary thing."
