Quotes
I have a big life, a small child, I work, I do a lot of things, so I’m often playing catch-up with what’s current.
I love to see how a character unfolds off the page in a project. I don’t always know how the character is going to turn out, even with the script being there. It’s not always clear where that character is going to take me. Or where I will take them.
I grew up under the British system, which I think is horrific for children – very, very strict – a system that did not recognize children as being individuals. You were small animals earning the right to be human.
I don’t think anyone would disagree with this: You are self-directed in daytime, and that’s it. So come with it, and bring it on the first take.
Pretend and real are all real to a psychopath.
