I'm A Big Sports Fan. Football. Cricket.

I Trained In The Theatre.

Although I Behave In A Quite Reserved Way In My Personal Life, Give Me A Stage And I'll Be As Flamboyant As I Can.

I Haven't Got Anything Against Films That Are About The Minutia Of Relationships Or Customs, But I Love Extremes. I Love Taking A Bunch Of Characters And It Usually Is A Bunch Of Characters, And You Throw Something At Them That's Usually Extreme, Like A Bag Of Money, Or You Send Them Out To Explode A Nuclear Device On The Surface Of The Sun. And Those Extremes Are Wonderful For Drama.

Directing Is A Mixture Of Compromise And Perfectionism. When You Lose The Judgment Of Which Is More Important At Any Particular Moment, You're Time Is Over. They Find You Out And Send You Packing.

It Just Seduces You When You Read A Story And Your Brain Relates To It. You Recognize Or Connect With It. You Identify With It; You're Bound To.
