‘I keep shoes by the door so if I have to escape into the night, I’m not doing it in bare feet.

‘No film in particular, I just get anxious when I see someone running through the woods or down a dirt track without shoes. They always get stabbed in the foot by a random twig, they’re hobbling in pain and the killer follows the trail of foot blood to find them. Not me with my Crocs by the door.’
