Andrea Arnold

I grew up in a working-class family, so I guess you could say I write from what I know.

I definitely feel sorry more people don't get to see my films. They aren't inaccessible, and if people got the chance to see them, I know they'd like them.

My films don't give you an easy ride. I can see that. The sense I get is that people have quite a physical experience with them. They feel afterwards that they've really been through something.

I love Hindi films.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Single's fun - you don't have to check in with your girl, but it's not easy. I do get lonely.
