I Find It Hard To Relax Around

When A Movie Is Called 'searingly Honest,' It's Almost Invariably Grim And Demonstrates How Bad Things Can Get.

I Quoted David Hare One Of His Lines The Other Day To Illuminate Whatever Point We Were Trying To Make In The Conversation, And I Said 'what Play Was That?' And He Said 'it Was Your Line, You Said It About A Hundred And Fifty Times In The Vertical Hour.'

I Used To Think That Prizes Were Damaging And Divisive, Until I Got One, And Now They Seem Sort Of Meaningful And Important.

I Love Imaginative Representations Of A Possible Near-future, Where You Look At The Technology And You Think, "well, Yeah, That Could Really Nearly Be True." I Like Those Kinds Of Backgrounds.

You Tell Yourself That You're Not Auditioning But Of Course You Work Like Crazy, And You Prepare Like Mad. And You Think, "well, I Won't Get That Job. But Maybe They'll Have Another Job Sometime, And They'll Remember That I Was Good."
