I think it is more a cautiousness that protects me from enthusiasm about things. I tend not to get excited. People perceive it as a scowl, which is fair enough.

Maybe I fear things going wrong so much that I pre-empt them by not getting excited about them when they appear to be. going well.

I think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.

I think the point of art is to be controversial in a lot of ways. It's to cause conversations, and it's to get people excited about and talking about the things that the films are about.

I'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible.

I hate people who think it's clever to take drugs... like custom officers.
