After 'Adam and Paul,' I had offers from American agents, but I think I would have been swallowed up.
Lenny Abrahamson
I'm looking for an intensity of focus. It's a bit like tuning a guitar string. You tighten and tighten, and nothing really changes until you hit that tension, and suddenly it's there: you've got a note.

Frank's really different from everything I've done. Maybe the one thing that's the same, and the thing that I tend to do, is that I think I can create an intimacy with the characters, like a sense of presence with the people in the film, and that's what I tried to do in 'Room' as well.
Lenny Abrahamson
There are more ways to make 'Room' badly than well.
Lenny Abrahamson
I don't think of myself as doing good works. It's not, 'Oh, I must give these poor people a voice.'
Lenny Abrahamson
I remember as a kid being asked if I was Jewish or Irish. I said, like the glib little 15-year-old I was, 'You can be both.' Feeling very pleased with myself. Before they smacked me.
Lenny Abrahamson
The most conventional romantic trope of all is that you put lovers under extreme pressure, where they have to make decisions that illuminate aspects of that bond.
Lenny Abrahamson
It's something I've noticed with my two children - children frequently know and don't know at the same time. They are aware of aspects of the world that are a little bit shadowy, and they choose not to engage with them.
Lenny Abrahamson
As soon as you make some films that people like, you'll be sent material, and that can come from anywhere.
Lenny Abrahamson
You can throw away your script more easily than you can throw away your film.
Lenny Abrahamson

Lenny Abrahamson
As with any actor and any collaborator, it's about forming a trusting relationship. And that's not that you have to get him to trust you so you can get him to do what you want. Especially with a little kid, it's about making them feel really safe, and getting to know and not treating them as a puppet to be moved around.
Lenny Abrahamson
