I'm agnostic because I went through the usual process of parents insisting you go to church, and yet they didn't. So there's me, sitting in the chairs, thinking, 'Jeez, why am I here? I'd rather be playing tennis, seriously.'

Parents Me Thinking Process Church

I don't ever blink, honestly.

Blink Ever Honestly

Perhaps because of my background as a graphic designer, I'm drawn to rich and beautiful colors.

Beautiful Colors Rich Because Drawn

Conscience, the power of conscience, can unearth all kinds of things.

Power Conscience Things Kinds

In film, it's very important to not allow yourself to get sentimental, which, being British, I try to avoid. People sometimes regard sentimentality as emotion. It is not. Sentimentality is unearned emotion.

Yourself People Important Sometimes
