Andrea Arnold

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

Films are all about decisions, and that's what I love.

I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.

I think that, in almost all human beings, there is buried a profound tribal instinct that makes us very susceptible to being aroused to patriotic fervour.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.

Acting is an uncomfortable business because you have to make yourself vulnerable.
