It's Not Who I Am Underneath But

I Ain't The First On The List That People Are Sending Scripts To. I'm Very Lucky. I've Managed To Put Myself In The Position With Some Directors, Yes, Who Will Be Calling Me Directly, And We're Working On Things And Talking About Things, But That's On A Purely Creative Level. And Then You Go And Have To Deal With The Financial Level.

I Went Backwards And Forwards Over It Until I Was 22. And Then In The Past Few Years I Began To Say To Myself, Ok, Look, I'm Not Messing Around. This Is Something I Want To Attack, Instead Of Thinking, I'll Just See What Happens With It.

I Met My Grandfather Just Before He Died, And It Was The First Time That I Had Seen Dad With A Relative Of His. It Was Interesting To See My Own Father As A Son And The Body Language And Alteration In Attitude That Comes With That, And It Sort Of Changed Our Relationship For The Better.

You Have To Treat Yourself Like A Mushroom To Some Degree, In Order To Keep On Discovering Things.

I Don't Think I'm Like Any Of The Characters I've Played. They're All Really Far From Who I Am.
