I Like It When Stories Are Left

I Get Stage Fright And Gremlins In My Head Saying: 'you're Going To Forget Your Lines'.

Certainly As Actors, And Maybe As Directors, You've Got To Hang On To Something Childlike. You've Got To Know What Play Is. I Haven't Worked With Mike Leigh, But I Know Him Very Well And There's Something Open In His Eyes About What's In Front Of Him. And The Same Is True Of Alfonso In A Mexican, Mad Way. There's An Enthusiastic Response To Something. Neil Jordan, The Same, When He Gets Excited . You Just Want To Know There's A Human Being In There.

A Wounding Tongue. I'm Working On It. Perhaps Its The Celt In Me.

Do You Know That Moment When You Paint A Landscape As A Child And, When You're Maybe Under Seven Or Something, The Sky Is Just A Blue Stripe Across The Top Of The Paper? And Then There's That Somewhat Disappointing Moment When The Teacher Tells You That The Sky Actually Comes Down In Amongst All The Branches. And It's Like Life Changes At That Moment And Becomes Much More Complicated And A Little Bit More Boring, As It's Rather Tedious To Fill In The Branches.
