I Like To Do Movies That Provoke

As Soon As I See Period Costume, I Turn Off. It's Like Hearing Drama On Radio 4.

I Never Had Any Desire To Be Famous. I Find People Who Do Really Sad. I Genuinely Feel Sorry For Them Because There Is Nothing Of Substancein Their Lives. I Am Happy When I Am Writing Or Performing. Not When I Sit There Being "famous". I Like Recognition For My Work, But Not Recognition For Being "that Bloke Off The Telly". It Is Genuinely Humbling When A Woman Comes Up To Me, As Someone Did Recently, To Say She Wanted To Commit Suicide After Her Husband Died, And My Show Cheered Her Up And Made Her Feel Better. That's Great.

Sadly, I Can't Say The Same For My Father, Who Is Probably In A Different Place - Hell.

There Were Days When We Used To Say, What Was In Today's Paper Is Tomorrow's Fish-and-chip Paper.when I Became Successful, I Enjoyed Myself A Little.

Two Thousand Years Ago, The Holy Family Had A Ramble From Nazareth To Bethlehem - In Much The Same Way As I'm Having A Ramble From Norwich To Swaffham. Although I'm Not Comparing Myself To Jesus - I Don't Want To Get Bogged Down In That Whole Controversy Again.
