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.
I can't do a film if I don't start with the writing.
It's the same thing in a way, although writing a book is a very solitary thing.
I took two years away from making films to write a novel.
