Andrea Arnold

"I love insects. They are amazing."

"I've got no education."

"My films don't give you an easy ride. I can see that. The sense I get is that people have quite a physical experience with them. They feel afterwards that they've really been through something."

"With a lot of films, people are sitting on the outside looking in, but I want the audience to get a bit more intimately involved with what's going on, so that they maybe can experience it a little bit more intensely."

"Whenever I get fed up with life I love to go wandering in nature."

"I don't think you can question your instinct you should always trust it."
