writing different stories
I have to write for everyone. What really fascinates me is how you make films or make stories that can genuinely be shared by different groups.
book writing los-angeles
I was in Los Angeles making 'Dead Again' and the producer, Lindsay Doran , asked me if I'd be interested in adapting this book, .. Austen is my favorite author and I thought, 'Well, of course, I'd be very interested, but I don't know how. I don't know where to start, A, writing a screenplay and B, sort of adapting it from a great novel.
nice writing tables
Lindsay Doran goes round the table and introduces everyone - making it clear that I am present in the capacity of writer rather than actress, therefore no one has to be too nice to me.
writing years may
It’s about time a 55-year-old British woman is the heroine of an action movie. I may have to write it.
writing interesting creative
If you're actually allowing your creative part to control your writing rather than a more commercial instinct or motive, then you'll find that all sorts of interesting things will bubble up to the surface.
writing matter desks
Just write. It doesn't matter what you write. Just sit at your desk and write.

gets given name names sort thinking
Every name I think of gets pooh-poohed by my partner, the young Mr. Greg Wise, ... I've sort of given up thinking of names now.
certainly charities developing english-actress huge took trouble
I think if you took charities and NGOs out of the mix, certainly in developing countries, you would find that there would be huge trouble immediately.
children terrible
I think it would be terrible if what children come away (with) from this movie was that you've always got to behave. No! Not so!
opposite reached
Having reached 40 this year, if they were going to find someone to play opposite me they'd have to exhume him.
nanny react
She was the only one that didn't react to me when I was in Nanny mode.
people sleeve
Let's see how this one goes, but I have one up my sleeve if we think that people want it.
