There are always reasons for people’s behaviour, and it’s easy just to dismiss them and assume that we already know their story, especially if they’re no good at showing their emotions. Life gives you all these knocks, it’s so easy to form a shell to protect yourself. I’ve done it myself.

Once you get into a feature, whether it’s a sequel or an original one, you have to start all over again, and you’re creating a world, creating new characters. You’re also tracking emotions. You’re trying to create emotion and create a character that you can fall in love with for two hours.
