Quotes

“School is a great leveller where you are known not by the money you have, but by how good you are in sport, not even studies. At school, even though I travelled in trains and buses, I got all the attention being the football captain.”
“I have been offered films from Hollywood since 2006. The only difference is, I've never mentioned it or spoken about it. My aspirations are very simple. I want to make a film out of here that's world standard. That will make me very happy.”
“I have probably been criticised the most in this industry, from the time I started. For me, it was simple. I was like a horse with blinkers. I could only see in front, and didn't expect. I have never had a publicist. I don't go out there to feed stories in the media; it could make me vulnerable as well, but I think people know my integrity and where I come from.”
