I Grew Up With Such An Affinity

I Really Enjoy Doing Things That Are More Subtle And Close To Home - And Literally Close To Home.

It's Really Interesting Making Films And Actually Seeing The Life That They Have In The Subsequent Years And Seeing Which Ones Stand Up Over Time And Which Ones Sort Of Fade Away.

To Work In America Or Other Places Is More About Curiosity, Because I'm Dealing With Cultures And Sensibilities That I Don't Really Know. So I'm Having To Sort Of Investigate Them, Which I'm Fascinated In, But It Comes From A Place Of Curiosity Rather Than A Real Need To Get Something Out Of My System.

I Feel I Do My Best Work When It's All There On The Page, And I Feel That The Character Is Very Vivid As I Read The Script And I'm Not Having To Create Stuff And Trying To Cobble Together Something. If I Have To Do That, Then I Don't Entirely Trust What I'm Doing.

I Used To Work Out In The Gym A Lot When I Was Younger. I Was A Competition Body Builder When I Was 16 Or Something Crazy Like That For A Short Period Of Time. So, The Gym Is Quite Familiar And I Know What I'm Doing There.
