"The things that I've done that have totally been remembered, they've always started with the same kind of engine, they've always started with someone saying 'I have to make this film - I'm going to make this film whatever the odds'."

"As a matter of principle, I always come to a film like a blank slate, I don't learn my lines in advance. With this approach, I feel clean."

"This one, even though it called for San Francisco, I think they wanted to initially shoot part of the film up here, you know get the exteriors and then go back to L.A. We really fought to get it up here and I think Paramount was really pleased."

"I've had three novels published, and I was working a little bit in theater in Ireland. I wrote one film script just to see what it would turn out like."
Film
"But everyone gets burnt, don't they? Certain things are outside of your control. I suppose the only thing you can learn as a director is to not put yourself into situations where it can get outside of your control. And that's what happened."
Control
"I took two years away from making films to write a novel."
Writing
"I'm less comfortable making American movies because I don't know them so well."
Movies
"Well, if you're talking about the current climate, there's a lack of content in American film because I think people are deeply confused about their emotions, and they don't regret certain aspects of their own foreign policy."
People
"Well, Company of Wolves was about that literally, about fairy tales."
Movies
"The Company of Wolves is about how society teaches young women to look at themselves, and what to be afraid of. It's about a girl learning that the world of sensuality and the unknown is not to be feared, that it's worth getting your teeth into."
Society
"It's the opposite journey from what I've usually done with films. I find it very easy to go from, say, a lit, pleasurable environment, like what you see outside there, to a very dark place. But the opposite journey, which is what this movie takes, is much more complicated."
Environment
"Why should a horror film be just a horror film? To me, The Company of Wolves is a fairy tale; it's got all those elements plus a lot more. And we know that fairy tales aren't innocent any more."
Movies
"I do enjoy working with writers."
