A Lot Of Actors Aren't Particularly Good

It's Not So Much That I Want To Direct But That I Have To. When I Write Something It Terrifies Me That If I Give It To Someone Else And It Doesn't Turn Out As It Could Have Done, I'd Feel As If I'd Orphaned My Baby.

Watching People Just Look Out For Themselves, I Think, Is Extremely Interesting. It Goes Right Back To Something Like 'the Beggar's Opera' - The Underbelly Of Society, How It Operates, And How That Reflects Their So-called Betters.

It Takes A Very Strong Brain To Resist The Absolutes, The Myths That The Media And The Politicians Peddle - The Idea That If You Are Too Kind, Where Does It All End? That Not To Help Someone Is Somehow A Good Idea.

I Wanted To Dismantle The Bollocks That There's A Military Structure To A Gang, With A Leader, Second Leader, The Good Looking One, First Babe, Second Babe. It's Far More Arbitrary Than That And Their Values Shouldn't Be Romanticised. They Aren't Something You Want To Sign Up To.

When Things Are Really Painful, I Turn It Into Comedy.
