In Filming You're Waiting. You're Waiting For Lights. You're Waiting For People Set Things Up. And When You're Not Waiting, You're Repeating. And Neither Is Conducive To Spontaneity, You Know. Comedy Makes You Very, Very Neurotic Because You Think, I - But Did I Nail It?

If I'd Loved My Chemistry Teacher And My Maths Teacher, Goodness Knows What Direction My Life Might Have Gone In. I Remember There Was A Primary School Teacher Who Really Woke Me Up To The Joys Of School For About One Year When I Was Ten.
