I think for a long time it seemed like working in an art form and being a feminist meant portraying women in a perfect, angelic light. And there's nothing feminist about that.

My mum's American. She's from Detroit.

I don't like talking about myself, if I'm honest.

'Twin Peaks' is my favorite American TV show.

I was a really pretentious teenager.

I've never been desperate to please my father.

One aspect of my mum's personality that has influenced me is her love of Hollywood and the golden era of black-and-white films.

My childhood was very colourful, and I am very good friends with both my parents. We have no secrets.

I really think that 'Christine' is one in a million in terms of independent or studio.
