"I always think that there's a weight of prejudice from the past that gay people perhaps carry around..." — Andrew Haigh

With supporting roles, you just want really good actors that can make it bigger than what's there.

I always quite like the idea of casting against type when I'm looking for and trying to understand who a character is.

I wanted to make films since I was young. My background had nothing to do with anything creative, so it seemed an impossible task.

I have seen a lot of gay-themed films that didn't really express how I see being gay at this moment in the world. There never seemed to be a kind of authentic depiction of relationships.
