I'm Just The Last English Twit, Really.

What Infuriates Me Is That In America Violence Is Judged In Context, Whereas Language Is Not. So With Language There Is An Arithmetic That Says: One F*** Is A Pg 13, Two F***s Is An R. They Don't Say: One Bullet Through One Head Is A Pg 13, Two Bullets Through More Than Two Heads Is An R.

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.

But This Is Where You Get All The Market Research And Things Get In Danger Of Becoming Formulaic, And Where You Depend On Brands And Getting Recognised Actors. It's The Thing That Precludes Risk Very Often, Otherwise Everyone Would Be Avant-garde All Over The Place.

So, You Don't Have Laughs As A Reference Point Any More, It Becomes A Bit Of A Science After That. And The Last Thing, You Would Love To Be Able To Depend On A Sense Of Spontaneity, But Hours Of Waiting And Then Hours Of Repetition Are Not Conducive To Spontaneity So Those Are Your Obstacles. On The Other Hand It's A Lot Of Fun. Plunging Into A Bit Of Physical Comedy And Abandoning All Dignity, No One Can Really Hurt You Much After You Much After That, Once You've Done It.

'la Dolce Vita' Made We Want To Go To Rome And, If Not Jump Into The Trevi Fountain, At Least Watch Someone Else Do It. Maybe That's Why I Married An Italian...!
