Their use value has become negligible to me because I'm perfectly happy to read on an e-reader.

• I love watching all sorts of different types of movies, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily movies I want to be making.

But, I'm just looking to work on things that both feel professionally exciting and personally relevant.

The soul is the true tool.

• Whatever is being investigated, created or produced now, in movies or TV, needs to consider the context in which it is being distributed. It's not a vacuum. There are certain universal themes of love, conflict, loyalty or family that are everlasting and that need to be presented in a way that makes it feel relevant, even if it's a period piece. You need to consider what context that film, that story and those characters are being seen in.
