So You Can't Judge The Character You're

On The Screen Were Some Flashback Shots Of Daniel, Emma And Rupert From Ten Years Ago. They Were 12. I Have Also Recently Returned From New York, And While I Was There, I Saw Daniel Singing And Dancing (brilliantly) On Broadway. A Lifetime Seems To Have Passed In Minutes.

Each Character I Play Has Different Dimensions. I'm Not Interested In Words That Pull Them Together.

Certainly As Actors, And Maybe As Directors, You've Got To Hang On To Something Childlike. You've Got To Know What Play Is. I Haven't Worked With Mike Leigh, But I Know Him Very Well And There's Something Open In His Eyes About What's In Front Of Him. And The Same Is True Of Alfonso In A Mexican, Mad Way. There's An Enthusiastic Response To Something. Neil Jordan, The Same, When He Gets Excited . You Just Want To Know There's A Human Being In There.

One Longs For A Director With A Sense Of Imagination.

I Was 7, And I Remember Being Given A Part In A Play And Thinking, This Is Exciting.
