"I think the reality of being human is that emotional truths are painfully difficult to speak about and that we spend an inordinate amount of time avoiding them. Any script which captures that conflict accurately is appealing to me, because it means that those emotional truths will have to be dissected forensically with the actors, the part of my job I love the most. A lot of my work comes from working with the writer, asking the right questions, getting a sense of where we want the moments of ambiguity to come and honing it together."
