Whenever You Take On Playing A Villain,

Almost Every Comedy You See Is About People Making All Wrong Choices And Making All The Errors Of Judgement Possible. Good Comedy Is When It Works On This Scale. Because It Is Psychologically Very Real.

However Good A Communicator A Director Is, Unless They've Been Actors, It's Just Not The Same As The Shorthand You Get With Someone Who's Been An Actor.

To Be Bothered Wherever You Go - It's Not A Rational Thing To Want At All.

Some People Come Up To Be Directors By Coming Through The Camera Department And There's Not A Lot Of Women In The Camera Department. The Ones That Are Have To Kind Of Prove They're One Of The Boys, I Think. I Don't Want To Get Into Trouble With Generalisations But I Think It's A Fair Observation.

And That Is A Hard Route For A Woman To Come Through. There's Still A Lot Of Roles That Have To Be Conformed To. It's Quite An Old Fashioned Environment In A Lot Of Ways.
