I'd Love Most Of The Movies I

I Teach For The Book Trust, Which Promotes Reading And Writing With Children.

Best Ever Was Filming In Barcelona Last Year, And I Had A Couple Of Scenes With De Niro. He's A Very Shy Man. Speaks So Quietly That People Tend To Bend Down And Adopt The Same Tone, Almost The Same Voice, Whenever They Talk To Him - Watching, You'd Think Someone's Offering To Carry Out A Hit For Him When They're Just Offering Him A Cup Of Coffee.

Certainly For My Father, There Were Great Times, Good Times, Not-so-good Times. He Might Be Shooting A Fellini Film For Six Months, Then Not Working For Two Months. I'm Used To That Dynamic.

I Don't Know If It's Harder But When You're Playing A Real Person You Want To Honor Their Memory - Even If They're A Criminal Or Someone That The Public Loathed. That Can Be Challenging.

They Seem Much Rarer Now, Those Auteur Films That Come Out Of A Director's Imagination And Are Elliptical And Hermetic. All Those Films That Got Me Into Independent Cinema When I Was Watching It Seem Thin On The Ground.
