Trying to make a feature film yourself with no money is the best film school you can do.
Even when I was working for the company as a dancer, I didn’t think it was even going to be a feature in the future at all. The Wiggles had understudies in case there were family issues, but it was never a thing.

I started making music videos in my twenties and made my first feature, ‘Guncrazy,’ at 29. I then spent the greater part of my thirties directing features.
I look at the feature films that come out, and by and large, 85 percent of them are things I wouldn’t in a million years sit down and watch. The more interesting storytelling is happening on television by a long shot.
When I write, I don’t really focus on duets or anything like that or whether I’m going to feature this or that rapper. I just focus on just making a great song and figure out the rest later.
The first feature film I did, when I did ‘Night Shift,’ I improvised quite a bit because I would improvise at the audition, so sometimes I would return to the original lines, and then when I was on set, I would improvise even more.

It proved to be pretty impossible to get funds for a feature film in Finland. It’s still small, but the film industry was miniscule at that point in the early ’80s.
Because I really love tax, tax topics actually feature quite a lot in my fiction of various lengths. I once wrote a science fiction short story centered around the idea of an alien tax code, and the idea that you can understand a society by parsing its tax code.
In feature films, unless there was a body count, they weren’t hiring me to direct it.
We also have a conference call feature where up to five people can talk on one Skype call.
If you do too much acting in a lead part in a feature film where you’re 40 ft. high, it’s rather unattractive. You can see the acting.

When you’re writing a feature film, the moment you begin Page 1, you are in a sweat that you’re running out of pages.

Angel was the first Irish feature film. Neil’s first movie and my first movie.
Poetry is as vital as ever. The teaching of poetry reading, however, is sluggish and, often, slovenly. It needs to be expanded in the school curriculum and be more a feature of society at large. The newspapers should all be carrying a daily poem. It should be as natural as reading a novel.
The prime feature in Cornish geology is the upheaval of the granite, distorting, folding back, and altering the superincumbent beds.
I’ve always wanted to do a feature film, because, as a model, you have to play so many different characters.
I will direct one day. I need some more life experience before I feel like I can do something like that comfortably. It’d be a feature, it’d be something maybe that I had in writing as well.

If you walk into any magazine store, I guarantee that nine out of 10 covers will feature white, blonde, blue-eyed, slim women because that’s still the ideal of beauty. When a black or Asian figure shows up in a fashion magazine, she’s the exception, not the rule.
I wanted to make Jerusalem as feature film. But we couldn’t finance it only through theatrical release, we couldn’t get all the money we needed. We had to get some money from television. So we said, ok, let’s do it both ways. So we did it in four parts.
I would say my best feature has to be my legs – they are 41.5 inches long!
I want to direct a feature film. Horror is my main genre.
Regardless of the medium, be it television or feature or documentary, I’m not gonna distinguish and worry about my particular canon, whatever that means.
No amount of data will tell you if a feature should be in the product, because it doesn’t exist. You need to have a very clear leader with a clear point of view… otherwise, you get a mishmash of features and stuff that doesn’t make a lot of sense.
