Trivia
His first job in the film industry was as Ismail Merchant's assistant for Merchant Ivory Productions: "I sent a CV and badgered them and said please give me a job and they paid me - it is illegal now, thank God - £50 a week." But he admired their "personal, passionate way of working". [2015].

Quotes
[on Weekend (2011)] The root of the film for me is two characters trying to work out who they are and what they want from life, how they're going to fit that into the world around them and show the world that they are these people. These issues aren't just about being gay. They're about how you define yourself in public and in private.
