What Am I Doing In This Silly

I Grew Up In A Strongly Socialist Family. While I Was At School, I Worked In Party Politics And With Organizations Like The Anti-nazi League. Everywhere I Saw It, I Fought Prejudice.

I Think Politics Can No Longer Be Assigned To Parliamentary Activity And It Probably Never Could Be. But Politics With A Small P And The History Of Trade Union Movement Really Interests Me.

If I Was Going To Make A Broad Generalisation, I'd Say That I Prefer The Company Of Women. People Know Now That I Live With Mike Figgis, But I Prefer Not To Talk About It. On One Level, Privacy Is Important, But On Another Level I Have No Desire To Deny Certain Things.

I'll Always Take Scrabble And Chess If I'm Going Filming. But I Do Have The Scrabble Dictionary, Which Can Be Infuriating For Other Players.

I Play The Guitar. This Year At The Sundance Film Festival, I Joined The Band From 'the Guitar' On Stage. We Warmed Up For Patti Smith, And Then The Director Michel Gondry Got On The Drums To Play Some Songs From The Soundtrack To His Film Be Kind Rewind With Mos Def. It Was Pretty Mad.
