I Think England Has Served Me Very

I Think That London Is Very Much Like That. I Find There's Humour In The Air And People Are Interesting. And I Think That It's A Place Which Is Constantly Surprising. The Worst Thing About It? I Think It Can Be Smug And Aggressive.

I Have A Great Deal Of Respect For The Craft, I Don't Know How Much Respect It Has For Me. But It's A Precision Process. Doing It On Stage Would Be, I Think, Terrifying. Doing It On Film Has Its Own Difficulties, Because Film Is Not Conducive To Spontaneity. You Might Have A Run Through And Get A Few Chuckles At Eight O'clock In The Morning, But You Don't Keep Laughing At The Same Thing All Day Long.

But This Is Where You Get All The Market Research And Things Get In Danger Of Becoming Formulaic, And Where You Depend On Brands And Getting Recognised Actors. It's The Thing That Precludes Risk Very Often, Otherwise Everyone Would Be Avant-garde All Over The Place.

I Was Delighted To Become A Popular-culture Reference Point. I'm Still Delighted About It Actually, And I Still Find It To Be Weird.
