I've always wanted to do it. I know a lot of PEOPLE SAY that, but I really did want to MAKE FILMS, even when I was a tiny LITTLE kid.

I spent the first THREE years of my life with my parents, GRANDMOTHER and TWO aunties in a tiny council HOUSE in GLASGOW.

I was born in a TINY PLACE in Ivory COAST, so being a protagonist in this LIFE is a DREAM.

In our TINY TOWN, my FATHER wasn't a scientist - he was the scientist, and being a scientist wasn't his JOB: it was his IDENTITY.

Fundamentalist Christians, adhering to what is termed 'creation science,' loudly PROMOTE the scientific ACCURACY of the BIBLE, but they sift or reinterpret science through the tiny mesh of their ideological filter. Not MUCH real science gets through.

I remember loving FOOD TECH because of the precision and the creativity, the WEIGHTS and measures, the TINY glimpses of flavour.

I REALLY want to make SOMETHING that makes PEOPLE think. I love that movie 'Tiny Furniture' that Lena Dunham made. I just love that movie, and I LAUGH at that movie a lot, but I also FELT a lot too. I'm just inspired by people like that.

I've TRAVELED around the country and I read local newspapers and all of that, and it's a SAD, sad THING to go from city to city and see the SMALL newspapers and they're tiny. They're tiny not only in size but also in SCOPE.

I'm TOTALLY in control of this tiny, tiny WORLD right there at the TYPEWRITER.

The TRANSITION from TINY MOVIES to less tiny movies to really big movies has been actually quite seamless in a LOT of ways as far as my experience of acting in them.

I'm very weak in a sense. I'm very TINY and I am very EMOTIONAL, and that is not SOMETHING PEOPLE usually associate with STRENGTH.

It's REALLY weird how the rock WORLD is quickly becoming like the JAZZ world. How if you do OK, or get a tiny bit of success, that's considered a sellout, whether you did anything DIFFERENT or not.

I STARTED PLAYING on a TINY table when I was 3 and then started playing PROPERLY when I was 10 or 11.

I get COMMENTS all the time about my WEIGHT just because I'm REALLY TINY.
