Good dreams are better than films or books.

I love escaping into film, because everyday life I find quite troublesome. So any excuse to go into a cinema and say goodbye to the world for a couple of hours, or in a book or whatever, is great.

I try to read as much as I can - all the time, really. And I absolutely love going to the cinema, especially during the day.

I love entering the bowels of the cinema and immersing myself in another world.

The two have to go hand in hand - the atmosphere and the music. I actually get rather worried if I can't see the music first. There always needs to be a mood, a feeling, a story, even if it is abstract. There's got to be a narrative to guide things before they're even created.

Humans have always used animals to depict ideas about themselves: ideas about their status, about their position in life and society and the world.
