Doing The Right Thing Has Power.

When You're Dying, You're Liberated To Do What You Want To Do. You Give Yourself Permission. I Think Everyone's Experience With A Terminal Disease Is So Deeply Personal And Unique To The Person, The Context In Which They're Living And The Relationships That They Have.

It Is Always Good To Explore The Stuff You Don't Agree With, To Try And Understand A Different Lifestyle Or Foreign Worldview. I Like To Be Challenged In That Way, And Always End Up Learning Something I Didn't Know.

I Get Very, Very, Very Irritable With People Who Complain About Getting Old, Because I Know A Lot Of People Who Would Gladly Trade Places With Us. I'm Not Saying It's Easy, I'm Not Saying It Doesn't Hurt Your Feelings, I'm Not Saying It's Not Painful - And Physically As Well As Mentally And Spiritually - And It's Frightening At Times. However, People Have Really Lost Perspective, And It's A Really Bizarre Topic Of Conversation That It's Become A Cultural Peg In Our World That Aging Is A Bad Thing. It's Not Logical To Me.

But I've Also Spread My Net Very Wide. If There's One Thing That I've Done On Purpose It's To Take Whatever Job, So Long As It's Interesting And Challenging, Whether It's Theatre, Radio, Tv Or Film.

There's Something Grueling But Very Appealing About Rough, To-the-bone Material In A Low Budget Context. There's Less Between You And The Material. There Are Less People. There Is Less Time. There's Often Less Technology. You Have To Concentrate Very Intensely, And You Jump In A Little Deeper Because There's Nothing In Your Way... But There Are Challenges.
