Jane Goldman

I love Vivienne Westwood - she designs for womanly shapes.

I love the Empire Awards. It is really different and laid back.

The only moment I become aware of being the only woman in a meeting is when actresses are being discussed. If someone's critical of how a woman looks, they turn to me and apologize.

I always was passionate about science fiction and horror, and my parents enjoyed that as well.

I'm personally fed up with people seeing women and girls cast as victims.

I don't think anyone has ever been corrupted by a T-shirt.

If you disapprove of violence, then you can't think there is any age when violence is appropriate.

The idea that you could make a living from writing always thrilled me.

I like looking at a book and asking myself, 'How do I replicate that experience I just had as a reader?'

I see my role as a translator, telling the story that's in the book using the more visual language of film.

I've always been drawn to spooky things, to the unusual, to things that are dark but in a friendly way.

I was into Alan Moore and Frank Miller. I was a teenager when all those books where coming out for the first time - 'Watchmen,' 'V for Vendetta.' It was a great time to get into comics.

I love my work, but my home life is so fulfilling that I don't tend to be driven by work ambitions.

I was so clear on the fact that I wanted to be a journalist that I asked my parents if I could go to a tutorial college to do my O-levels early, which I did when I was 13.

I pretty much always wanted to be a writer.

I enjoy the medium of film, and I think I understand it well, and I like working with directors, so yeah, I think I'll stick with this.

I think most of the time you can make something happen, and it's about not letting your imagination be limited by that.

Honestly, I think most directors are about, 'Let's do the most fun and effective thing here and figure out how afterwards.'

I've been really lucky not to have a duff experience with a director.

Everybody should be free to love and marry who they want.
