It's surreal, Glasgow. It's got a really black sense of humor and I remember being envious of John Glazer beating me to it on the sci-fi in Glasgow with 'Under the Skin.'

I love the discipline of shooting film, because you don't cover everything, and I'm glad that I learned that way.

I hate exposition and superfluous dialogue. I hate when dialogue is trying to explain or patronize or finger-point.

My mum says I was the best kid ever; you could put me in a corner with a box of paints and I'd be happy for hours. They'd say, 'Lynne, Lynne,' and I wouldn't hear them.

I guess I've never really done a straight adaptation. It's been more like 'in the spirit of,' you know?

Where you're running out of time, you have these brainwave moments. It's allowing the space to have them, even in an incredibly tight situation.

We Need To Talk About Kevin,' as an adaptation, was pretty major. It's a long book, and it's in letters, so it was a real editing experience to boil that down and make it cinematic. I learned a lot doing that film.

Sometimes what you don't show creates more of a mystery.

To me violence, once you've done one violent act it leads to another, it leads to another, it leads to another, it becomes routine.

I think you can say so much about a character in lots of subtle ways.
