There Is A Sort Of Theory That

I'm Ashamed To Say The First Play I Saw At The Royal Court Was Mine.

I Became A Virtuoso Of Deceit. It Wasn't Pleasure I Was After, It Was Knowledge. I Consulted The Strictest Moralists To Learn How To Appear, Philosophers To Find Out What To Think And Novelists To See What I Could Get Away With.

Since My Adaptation Of Ian Mcewan's 'atonement,' I Get Sent A Lot Of Novels That People Think Will Work As Movies. So Every Now And Then I Make A Point Of Sitting Down And Reading A Couple Of Them.

I Have Always Thought Of Sophistication As Rather A Feeble Substitute For Decadence.

I Love Films. If I'd Known How To Get Into Or Do It From The Word Go, I Would Have Done That.
