My story wasn't one of those cliched stories of being an ugly duckling, I had a pretty good time at school. But then I think being six foot by the age of 15 meant that I couldn't help but be noticed, and that was when my physical being felt quite painful - I could not any longer walk into a room without being noticed.

The very first idea I ever had about making a film... my first thought about ever being a filmmaker was when I was sixteen years old and I wanted to make a Viking movie.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access.

I have to survive on word of mouth. David Bowie acceptableaccessage share on social
