In England You're Skewered On The Altar Of Pop Culture If You Become Pretentious.

I Didn't Want To Make Teenage Comedies, And I Didn't Want To Make Really Trashy Films. I Wanted To Make Films That Were A Bit Challenging.

I Suppose You Do Think About The Time That's Allotted To You More Than When You Were Younger. The Mortality Thing Obviously Has A Stronger Pull For You. It's An Imminent Truth; It's Not Necessarily A Bad Thing. You Realize - Much Earlier Than My Age Now - That You Won't Be Able To Play For England's Football Team, Just To Take A Really Crass Example. So You Can't Have That Life Again. Unless You Believe In Reincarnation Or Whatever. Reincarnation? That's A Whole Other Question. I Find People Who Talk About That Sort Of Thing In Interviews Idiotic. And I Don't Want To Go Down With Them.

People Have This Obsession. They Want You To Be Like You Were In 1969. They Want You To, Because Otherwise Their Youth Goes With You. It's Very Selfish, But It's Understandable.
