I Thought I Was Managing My Expectations,

If I Were To Write A Book About The Progress Of Getting To A Third Film, It Would Be A Long One.

I Feel More Comfortable In Drama. Comedy's Is A High-wire Act. I Find It Stressful. It's A Precision Science, In A Way. And When You're Filming, The Thing Comedy Depends On Becomes A Much More Difficult Commodity. The Thing You Depend On Is Spontaneity.

I Can Actually Get Involved In Getting Stories Off The Ground That No One Would Ask Me To Be In Because I'm The Wrong Age, The Wrong Sex, The Wrong Nationality, Or Whatever. I've Found It Quite Exhilarating To Have That Freedom To Tell The Stories That Aren't Just About Middle-aged White English Guys.

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?

I Would Rather Five People Knew My Work And Thought It Was Good Work Than Five Million Knew Me And Were Indifferent.
