"It’s hard to talk about this, but I think some of the best work you do is when you just let go and you let something course through you. And there were certain things that helped me in this. The boys’ voice-over I would play before sitting down and grieving on the couch and near the beginning of the film after I’d put them to bed at the end of their mum’s funeral. And they’d already recorded this bit of voice-over and it just, to experience it through them and -but like all things is about letting go. It’s about letting go, really. And then people say, well, you know, how do you cope with that? What does it do to you? I think, you know, certain parts of your life always come into your work. You can’t really escape that. But I think most importantly, I leave it all on the floor so there’s not a danger of it leaking back into my life. It’s there. And I like to do that with my work no matter what the ask is, so that it’s all there. It’s all on the dance floor and then I go home."

(Reporter: "I was curious for you, do you have a preference in terms of like the budget or is it sort of just like you love it all?")
"No, not at all. You know, I love going to play in the big sandpit like the Marvel films. And I love doing work like this, which carries a completely different level of responsibility and freedom as well. You know, they both come with their challenges, but I loved that about the amount of necessity that sort of fostered our need to be inventive and, necessity is the mother of all invention is the phrase, you know. And it really was true of this, problem solving minute by minute, day by day is kind of the usual way every film comes together at whatever scale. And there’s an intimacy to this that I really loved, the smallness of the crew and the intimate relationship you build up with people that you really, you’re this close to this often a lot of distance on the bigger movies because of all the kind of effects and crane shots and stuff. But yeah, it just and something that I’m really proud to have produced as well. I have had a really strong hand in having been made."
