There Is A Tension In Relationships Between

I Have A Great Editor And I Enjoy, In A Masochistic Way, Being Ruthless About My Own Performance. How Do I Know, But I Think I'm Quite Good At Saying, "that's No Good. That's No Good. That's It. That's It. That's Good." And I'm With The Editor Who Goes, "no, I Think You're Wrong. That's Not Your Best." There's An Initial Point In The Editing, If You're Directing Yourself, Especially In My Case, Where You Go, "ouch, Ouch, Ouch, I Can't Watch This." And Then, There's A Point Where You Become Hard-nosed And Just Take Your Neurosis Away And Go, "what's Working? That's Okay. That's Okay. We Can Lose That, And Lose That." You Get Objective About It.

Going To The Movies Was A Big Event In My Youth. My Father Would Be The Initiator - He'd Have Me Put On A Jacket To See A Film.

It's Not Great If Someone Gives You Sort Of Bland Praise Without Giving You Clear Direction And Say, "this Is Good, Let's Try It Like This." I Have Worked With Someone Who Seemed Quite Inarticulate And Just Would Say, "that's Good, That's Good." That's Very Frustrating Because - It's Nice To Know Something Is Good But You Know It Can Always Change.

I Guess I'd Love To Be Surprised By Something I Had Never Thought Of.

I Think Shakespeare Is Like A Dialect. If I Heard A Broad Scots Accent, I'd Probably Struggle At First But Then I'd Start To Look For Words I Recognise And I'd Get The Gist. I Think Shakespeare Is Like That.
