The Trouble With The British Is That

On Movies, I Like To Involve The Cast In The Writing Of The Script. I Like To Have A Rehearsal Period, After Which I Do The Last Draft, Which Gives Me A Chance To Incorporate Anything The Actors Have Come Up With During The Rehearsal Period, So I'm Very Inclusive As A Writer.

Some Actors, I Think, Want To Feel That They Are As Creative As The Writer. And The Answer Is, Frankly, They're Not.

The Most Creative People Have This Childlike Facility To Play.

Nerves Are Always A Big Problem For Me, Which Is Why I Loved Doing American Sitcoms. Because You Know When You Do The Take In Front Of The Audience That You're Going To Do It Again Afterwards. A Minute After You Finish, You Just Go And Do It Again. So, There's That Sort Of Safety Net. And Then If You Made A Little Mistake Or Two, They'll Go Pick It Up, So There's Nothing To Worry About.

That's A Lovely Experience When You Make An Audience Laugh. Then The Nerves Go Away For A Bit. And Sometimes You Do Things Then That You've Never Done Before That Are Really Funny.
