The longer you get in a relationship, the harder it becomes to confront problems. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
I think all of my male characters, I suppose, in all of my films, they’re not necessarily the traditional version of masculinity. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
I think people do like extremes in cinema. There are very few films told about everyday middle-class couples, which is odd to me, as there are a lot of everyday middle-class couples. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
Our lives are largely made up of a series of mundane moments, but those little moments are often the finesse that shapes our entire existence; it’s not necessarily the big, dramatic events, although they do, too, of course. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
If you’re struggling, it’s easy to feel powerless until you take control of it and assert what you want. I can understand that feeling. I can understand how it feels to be alone, to not want to get help from people and to not trust people who are actually wanting the best for you. I feel like that’s true for a lot of people, actually. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
I think the gay community is made up of so many little different things, different parts, different people… I think that can be quite hard for people. You think you’ve found your tribe, but actually, that isn’t your tribe, and then you have to keep searching for what kind of makes sense. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
My films are very everyday, and people don’t always want to go to the cinema to see ordinary lives. They want to see something a bit more extraordinary. I get that desire, but it’s not the kind of film I want to make. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
SXSW can feel very male, very straight, and very white, and though it’s a great festival, when you have a film that’s different, it’s hard to find your place. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
It fails everybody, pretty much, the American Dream, but people are driven by it. I don’t think we’re driven by the same sense of hope in Europe. We’re driven by pessimism more. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
