It's Always Been My Hope, As An

I Think If You Had To Map That Out At The Beginning And You Said, "right, Sit Down, This Is What You're Going To Be Doing," You'd Probably Freak Out. But I'm Someone Who Really Enjoys Not Being Himself. So If You Consider That, Then It All Sort Of Makes Sense.

I've Always Been Someone That Sets Achievable Short-term Goals. I've Never Been Someone That's Had A Five-year Plan, Or A Three-year Plan. That Just Seems To Lead To A Lot Of Disappointment, And Doesn't Give You The Chance To Be Flexible. So I've Just Always Been Someone That's Sort Of Reassessed Where I'm At, And Set Goals That Are Realistic. And Luckily, I've Had Plenty Of Chances To Recalibrate And Adjust, And Good Fortune's Come My Way.

I Think You Need To Be Able To See A Lot Of Negative In Things In Order To Extract Material, So There's Probably Something To That. A Lot Of The People I Used To Work With Were Very, Very, Very Unfunny Offstage, So That's A Pretty Common Thing.

My Background Was Producing And Writing And Performing In Television When I Started Out, And I Really Missed That, That Whole Creative Process That Comes From Sort Of 'me' Storytelling.

The Thing I Love About Working With First-time Directors Is That It's Always Quite Shocking How Little Difference There Is Between Them And Directors Who've Been Directing All Their Lives.
