Nowadays Filmmakers Tend To Recycle The Same

I Feel Connected To The Second World War Because My Father Lost His Father In That War. So, Through My Dad And The Effect It Had On Him Of Losing His Father Young, I Always Felt Connected To The War. It Goes Back Years, But It Still Feels To Me As If We're Completely Living In It.

With The Coming Of Radio As A Mass Medium, Suddenly The World Changed. It Became About, 'can This Leader Project Emotional Connection Through The Way He Speaks On The Radio?' And The Anxiety About Whether He Could Do That, We've Inherited.

Well, I'm Half Australian, Half English And I Live In London. That Is The Only Reason I Came Upon This Story. My Australian Mother, Meredith Hooper, Was Invited In Late 2007 By Some Australian Friends To Make Up A Token Australian Audience In A Tiny Fringe Theater Play Reading Of An Unproduced, Unrehearsed Play Called 'the King's Speech.

I Decided To Be A Filmmaker When I Was 12. I Had Utter Clarity That This Would Be My Life.

Thank You To My Wonderful Actors, The Triangle Of Man-love Which Is Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush And Me.
