When you're shooting, there's terrible pressure, and you never switch off. Every day is like the day before an exam; it's relentless.
Lenny Abrahamson
I was a bachelor for a long time, and I got into all these really lazy habits work-wise. I'd just work as long as I wanted into the night. There was no structure.
Lenny Abrahamson
I went to Poland for the Warsaw Film Festival, and it was quite an intense experience. I didn't think it would be, but it did feel quite emotional to go back to this place I'd heard so much about.
Lenny Abrahamson
I'm not an academic type in term of personality. I had my share of madness as a teenager.
Lenny Abrahamson
I think people like to have their categories clear. They want to know if it's fiction or fact, biopic or not.

The thing about America - it's different everywhere, but visually, it's amazing to shoot in the desert in the New Mexico light. It's really hard to shoot in that desert and make anything look not amazing.

Lenny Abrahamson

Lenny Abrahamson

Lenny Abrahamson

Lenny Abrahamson
If you're in Hollywood, with no track record, it's pretty odds-on that you can get swamped and overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it all; particularly with the intense commercial push that you feel there.
Lenny Abrahamson
There was a golden era in film-making in Hollywood back in the 1970s, and although there is some great independent film-making in America, it's actually very hard to get independent films made in the United States. It's much more feasible from Europe.
Lenny Abrahamson
I was interested in the narrative of how we nurture our elite in this society: all that stuff about believing in yourself and not accepting second best. Our inner world is at odds with that.
Lenny Abrahamson
I wanted to make films that were culturally relevant in my own country, that challenged people, and that people talked about.
Lenny Abrahamson
As a small kid, I had this huge desire to be thought of as really clever.
Lenny Abrahamson
I can think back to being four or five and not wanting to sit at the kids' table because I thought it was demeaning. I was this ridiculous little kid.
Lenny Abrahamson
Although I was really interested in physics, I think I wanted to do it because I thought it was really hard. I did theoretical physics.
