I'm An Optimist By Nature, Myself, I

I Had Watched 'alfie,' But I Didn't Consider It A Prerequisite. Michael Caine Was Just Extremely Fabulous. He's One Of The Most Professional Actors I've Ever Worked With. I Guess After A Lifetime Of Doing It, You Know What You're Doing. He's Incredibly Uncomplaining, Undemanding.

You Do The One Film That You Think Is Terrible, But It's A Big Studio Film And You Hope You'll Get Another Job Because Of It, Because Blah Blah Blah, Whatever It Is. You Know That You Hate It, You Just Couldn't Care Less If It Got Made Because It's Not Something In A Million Years You'd Go And See Yourself. And It Ends Up Being Shite And You Just Knew It Was Shite To Begin With, And It Doesn't Do You Any Favors At All If Someone Thought You Were In Another Shite Film. So I Decided It Doesn't Get Me Anywhere Being Cynical. It's Not That I Want To Be.

I Already Feel A Bit Annoyed At Myself For Writing Screenplays. It's A Bit, I Don't Know, Model-singer-dancer-actress That Went To A Posh School. There's Something Too Weirdly Predictable About It.

I'm An Optimist By Nature, Myself, I Think.

I Did My Homework And Didn't Go Out Much, And Had A Very Highly Developed Kitsch Fantasy Life Where I Dreamed Of Being A Dancing Girl.
