He said: "I didn't think it would be possible to direct films at all. I hoped to write, and I guess that's still the thing I do mainly. This [directing] feels very unexpected."
Richard added "What these actors do is a completely different thing to what I do. I'm more or less waiting for someone to finish what I'm saying and then I say something, whereas they're really doing something that's very complex.

"But I'm aware of how difficult it is to act, through not being able to do it. So you want to create a sympathetic environment, not have people talk during their scenes and not overtly shake your head after they've finished something - things that you really do see directors do."
