dad incredibly interested mum neither notice opinions quite sort stay surprise taking
My mum is incredibly leftwing, and my dad was quite rightwing - no surprise they didn't stay together - and so I had two very conflicting political opinions as a child, neither of which I was interested in taking any notice of, being a sort of little reprobate.

There is no hiding the fact I'm an avid Millwall fan.

area certainly exist far good grew south war zone
I'm a good little middle-class boy. I live in Gloucestershire or Kensington. I don't exist in the war zone, but it's certainly not far away. I grew up in an area where it is a war zone - south London.

I don't want to die with regrets. I like living and experiencing and feeling the whole lot.
business cinematic clay drawn involved life shoot walk
In my real life I live in the countryside, I walk a lot, I shoot clay pigeons, I don't get involved in the film business or anything, and then in my cinematic life, I think I am drawn to the dark side.
I do show violence as entertainment. Clearly, I'd be a liar if I said I didn't.
bad boy certain life moves movies reputation type
I've got a reputation for doing a certain type of film: lads' movies that glamorise violence. The more my reputation as a bad boy grows, the more my life moves away from that.
falling life love
Two things revolutionised life: moving to the countryside and falling in love.
