I Want My Work To Be Judged,

I Think I'm Good With Actors. I Like Directing Actors. I Also Like To Show Up And Just Do An Acting Gig. Where I'm Just A Hired Gun, I Don't Have To Have An Opinion On Anything.i Never Got Involved In All This Stuff Because I Wanted To Control Stuff; I Got Involved In Writing And Producing Because I Wasn't Getting Interesting Acting Gigs. In A Way I'm Grateful That I Didn't Get Interesting Roles, Because It Made Me Pull My Finger Out And Do Some Work.

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.

If It Was Just The Potatoes That Were Affected, At The End Of The Day You Will Pay The Price If You're A Fussy Eater.

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.

The Church At Its Best Is About Empowering The Disempowered And Giving Voice To The Dispossessed And Not Putting A Price On Everything And Not Being About The Bottom Line And Not Worshipping The Market Or Everything That Is Material.
