I Trained In The Theatre.

When You Have Children Your Own Hypocrisy Becomes More Apparent Because You're Telling Them How To Behave, And You're Not Behaving Like That Yourself. So It Obliges One To Really Go In And Try To Look At Why There Is A Huge Gulf Between How One Knows One Wants To Behave And How One Actually Does Behave.

It's A Nice Way To Put The Focus Back On This Simple Act... If Someone Creates You.

I Always Say To Anybody Who's Going Over To America For The First Time, 'whatever You Do, Go And See A Popular Mainstream Film With A Big Audience.' Because People Shout Out. You Never Get That In Britain. Everybody's So Quiet, Scared To Laugh. It's Like Being In Church.

We Want To See Drama Told In A Cathartic Way, With Power, With Emotion Where You Empathize And Then You're Frightened. All Those Feelings Charge Up In You And You Feel For The Story.

The Great Thing With Film Is That It Doesn't Have An Ego. It's Just A Film. Everybody That Makes Them Has An Ego, And The Problem With Awards And Stuff Like That Is That It Always Affects The Egos, And Everyone Gets Stained By It In Some Way. And That Can Be Fine And Very Innocent, But It Can Be Horrible As Well.
