I Become A Bit Of A Blank

Research Can Be Interesting, But It Can Be Pointless As Well. The Realities Of Making A Movie Often Are Not Conducive With That. I'm Not Knocking It. I Love Doing Research Myself, But I Admit It Doesn't Always Add To The Performance.

I Went Backwards And Forwards Over It Until I Was 22. And Then In The Past Few Years I Began To Say To Myself, Ok, Look, I'm Not Messing Around. This Is Something I Want To Attack, Instead Of Thinking, I'll Just See What Happens With It.

I've Always Felt That I Would Rather See An Actor, Writer, Or Musician's Work, Rather Than Actually Know The Person. If You Know Too Much About An Artist, It Somehow Lessens Their Ability To Do Their Work As Well.

I Ain't The First On The List That People Are Sending Scripts To. I'm Very Lucky. I've Managed To Put Myself In The Position With Some Directors, Who Will Be Calling Me Directly, And We're Working On Things And Talking About Things, But That's On A Purely Creative Level.

The Risk Element Only Came From Acknowledging Other People's Attitudes Toward It, And Realizing That They Considered It To Be A Risk For Me To Do.
