historical dull audio
Quite honestly, if I were doing work related to a living being or historical being where there was visual or audio recordings available, I would find that extremely difficult because I don't know how you would avoid the process of mimicry. And mimicry, to me at any rate, is a very dull prospect.
school home boys
One of the great privileges of having grown up in a middle-class literary English household, but having gone to school in the front lines in Southeast London, was that I became half-street-urchin and half-good-boy at home. I knew that dichotomy was possible.
creativity creative fields
In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it.
country parent syntax
I come from not just a household but a country where the finesse of language, well-balanced sentence, structure, syntax, these things are driven into us, and my parents, bless them, are great custodians of the English language.
thinking actors pace
I think some actors thrive on working at a much greater pace than I do.

I suppose the place where I live is fairly remote, it would seem remote to some people.

I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
important privacy
I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.
hate people i-hate
I hate wasting people's time.
father vivid moments
I had a very vivid, almost hallucinatory moment in which I was engaged in a dialogue with my father.
movie people details
How people are around a director, it really does affect everything, every detail of the life of the movie.
father sadness excuse
It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me.
hate littles obvious
I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.
firsts innocence film
Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.
