british-actor editing location mentors million people work
My mentors were my editiors. You come from location work with a million people and questions, and you get into the editing room, and its two people.
changed
Television has changed. The very nature of it is not even television anymore.
thinking different kind
I like the idea of experimenting with different kinds of formats, and I think you've got to keep on your toes and keep changing.
The only thing I won't do is theater.
asking too-much teeth
If you meet somebody who's spent any length of time in prison, you don't let your guard down. Ever. And really, that's what that was about-if you open up too much, you're asking to get your teeth kicked in.
thinking years actors
I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.
scared stage-fright fright
I'm so scared of doing theater. I've got stage fright, although they keep asking me to come back.
people trying credit
I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.
character mean acting
There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.
thinking different directors
I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right.
pain growing-pains
Any show in its first season is going to probably have some growing pains.
missing tourism tourists
I miss my family, and I like being a tourist when I go back.
children thinking government
Everyone is an abused child, if you think about what governments do.
movie dog scripts
You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction', and it goes right in the bin.
