This Is Not A Movie About Smelling

Mrs. Robinson, You're Trying To Seduce Me... Aren't You?

I Came In On This Movie After There Had Been A Director And I Came In After Tom Courtenay Had Talked To Ron Harwood About Making A Movie. So, You Know Tom And Albert Finney Had Been Friends Since The Beginning Of Their Career As They Became Stars Around The Same Time - Tom Always Reminds Me That Albert Was First With Saturday Night And Sunday Morning And Then Tom With The Long Distance Runner.

You Go To The Cinema And You Realize You're Watching The Third Act. There Is No First Or Second Act. There Is This Massive Film-making Where You Spend This Incredible Amount Of Money And Play Right To The Demographic. You Can Tell How Much Money The Film Is Going To Make By How It Does On The First Weekend. The Whole Culture Is In The Crap House. It's Not Just True In The Movies, It's Also True In The Theater.

I Did Some Writing And Bought A Book, And Have Been Working On That As A Film To Act And Direct In.

Someone Once Said To Me, 'some Of Us Choose To Live With A Lifeboat Just A Little Bit Out Of Our Reach.' I'd Like To Reach A Point Where I No Longer Bullshit Myself. I Think That's The Natural Human Condition - To Lie To Yourself. Because The Truth Is Painful.
