I Do Think A Good Story In A Novel Is Fair Game And There's Nothing Wrong With Adapting That. It Sometimes Gets A Bit Facile Where They Think: "let's Get The Next Best-seller And See If We Can Turn It Into A Film."

It Does Help To Actually Realize That However Stunning The Person Who Is, You Know, Fluttering Eyelashes At You, She Doesn't Do Anything To Match Up To Your Wife.

It's Entirely To Do With Personality, I Think. There Are Good Directors Who Talk A Lot, Bad Directors Who Talk A Lot, And Good Directors Who Don't Say Much And Vice-versa. It Just Depends On Whether People Respond To That Personality And Whether People Have A Willingness To Do Something For Them.

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 Find That At Almost Every Press Junket I Get That Comment, "this Character's Different From What You Generally Play..." And That's Ok! But I Think "generally Play" Stems Back To Mr Darcy. I'm Fine With It But I Tend To Find That If It's A Departure, Which In Other People's Words It Always Is, It's Always A Departure From That.
