Don’t Stand Up When You Can Sit

I'm Basically Quite A Cheerful Person.

Two Billion People Watched The Royal Wedding. Clearly, They're Interested In That - The Outside Of What Appears To Be Lives That Have A Certain Amount Of Privilege. They Have Gifts, They Have History, They Have A Sort Of Unusual And Separate Position, Which Maybe Involves Paying A Price.

Even When A Film Is Finished, When I Direct A Film, Sometimes It's A Dark Profession, But It Requires A Peculiar Form Of Courage That I Admire.

Frankenstein Feels Like An Ancient Tale, The Kind Of Traditional Story That Appears In Many Other Forms. It Appeals To Something Very Primal, But It's Also About Profound Things, The Very Nature Of Life And Death And Birth - About, Essentially, A Man Who Is Resisting The Most Irresistible Fact Of All, That We Will Be Shuffling Off This Mortal Coil.

I Think The Best Actors Are The Most Generous, The Kindest, The Greatest People And At Their Worst They Are Vain, Greedy And Insecure.
