I Want To Be Better At Staying

My Dad Read The Hobbit To Me Originally When I Was Young. So, It Was The First Imaginary Landscape I Ever Had In My Head From The Written Word. It Gave Me A Passion For Reading, Thanks To My Dad's Performance Of The Book.

I'm Interested In Art For All. I Don't Want It To Be Only The Sons And Daughters Of Tory Mps Who Get To See My Plays.

There Are Other People Who Don't Mind Shouting From The Pulpit And Being Judged For It, And They Do A Hell Of A Lot Of Good - Real, On-the-ground, Life-changing Good. So I Think It Can Sometimes Be A Balancing Act.

I Want To Do It All. I Want To Climb Mountains, Go Through Jungles, Fight Wars In Space, Get The Girl, Shoot The Bad-guy Full Of Lead, Have All The Zippy One Liners, Bulge Muscles Out Of A Singlet, Drip Sweat And Blood On Screen, All Of That.

It's An Interesting Arc. You Start With A Character [doctor Strange] Who's Likeable And Charming But Very Arrogant And Distant. He's Funny But You Can See There Are Massive Holes In His Life. It's A Very Painful Transition And All That He Becomes Is Tested So Quickly And Violently.
