People can criticise me all day long. It just washes off me. You might as well be talking to a wall.

I think it's important that we have a new batch of British film-makers that aren't doing the same old stuff. And that includes me.

I don't think anyone expected me to get the BAFTA. The bookies didn't have me down. It's definitely made a huge difference in my career, but I don't dwell on it.

After Kidulthood, I was called in to a meeting and told that I didn't write women very well. I was very annoyed.

When I write a project, it might be something that I want to do and then when I look at it, I'm actually like, I kind of don't want to direct it. I don't know why, I still love it enough for it to be made and to support it, but I don't want to direct it. I just give it to other directors and they do a good job!

The BFI recently did a study of the British films that have the most people of color in them in the last 10 years, and in the top 10, three of the films were my films. I've always been a glass-is-half-full person. I've always gone, If people aren't going to do it, I'm going to do it.

When people say to me: Oh don't worry, if one door closes another one opens... If one door closes for me, go through the window - I'm not interested in waiting around for people to give me opportunities. I try and make things happen and if I am given opportunities I take them and work harder.

All the young people grow up too fast and want to be able to do this, or that. When you get to the older age and you have a mortgage, bills, this and that you think: If I had done that differently when I was younger, then I wouldn't be in this situation now.

I can't always be making British films. Why should we be making films about corsets and horses and girls learning to drive when Americans send over an event movie and make five or 10 million?

I think most people, no matter their status now, have big screen TVs, because they're the standard TVs now. And so why would you go to the cinema?

'Pulp Fiction' blew my mind beforehand, I'd watch films and there was a beginning, middle and an end, and that's it. There is in that film, too, but it's out of sequence.

I'm a nice guy to anyone I meet, until they show me they don't deserve niceness. I'll turn very quickly. But I'm pretty pleasant overall.

I don't like doing things that are too easy.

As an actor, director or writer you never want to be doing one thing. To show that diversity and be able to do more than one thing, and to play different characters, is part of the job that I'm supposed to do. Hopefully, I can continue doing that.

I allowed the actors to have freedom and sometimes change words if they needed to or thought that another word was more current.
