I Am So Thrilled To Be Nominated

I Don't Really Want To Retire. I Intend To Go On Working As Long As I Can Because I Still Have A Huge Amount Of Energy.

There Are Very Few Things That Surprise Me.

The Secret Of My Success Is My Mother, Who Was From Dublin. All My Relations Are In Dublin Or In The West, Or As I Found Out, We Went To Rostrevor In Northern Ireland To Film And I Got Out, While They Changed Cars Around, And This Man Said To Me: "you Know You Have Cousins In This Town? And They're Coming Down To See You..." And So They Did. I'm Sorry We Didn't Go To A Lot More Places, So That I Could Find A Lot More Cousins. So, That Was Good. It's Entirely Because My Father Was Also Brought Up In Dublin. So, That's My Link.

The More I Do, The More Frightened I Get. But That Is Essential. Otherwise Why Would I Go On Doing It?

I Started Off As A Theatre Designer, And By Some Extraordinary Circumstance I Saw Something In Stratford-upon-avon, And Realized That That's The Kind Of Design I Want, But Also That That's The Kind Of Designer I'll Never Be.
