Influences

Who would you say has influenced you most as a writer and a director?

I love Preston Sturges. I'm a big fan of his, and Stanley Kubrick's stuff is amazing.

I think as a writer you read Dostoyevsky and he deals with character and that's what I'm interested in. You read Tom Stoppard's plays and he deals with character with an intellectual kind of slant, and that's really interesting.
