I've always loved the old epics that tell a simple emotional story, whether it's the tumultuous relationship between Rhett and Scarlett or Lawrence of Arabia's passion to get lost in a faraway place.

The race is long but in the end it is only with YOURSELF.

So, what is creative freedom? We can make what we want, how we want. The only constraint is: not for any budget.

I always have a point of view. It may not be right, but it's my own.

My father made sure that I had lots of levels of education – from ballroom-dancing to painting, commando training, theatre and magic.

I feel a kinship with anyone who feels that their road, their life or who they really are is not good enough. I really relate to that.

Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
