All films speak to their times. It becomes obvious only after.

I'm terribly nostalgic, but I'm with the Elizabethans who thought nostalgia was a disease. It's a dangerous place to be because you can get caught up in it.

I always compare reading anything on the Internet to listening at doors. If you don't want to hear anything bad about yourself, you should never do it.

I am a gay man who loves James Bond films and snooker - all kinds of working-class pursuits.

I think a lot of people who say they are bisexual aren't.

The question I ask myself is: have I really just become a squeamish middle-aged man, or has something happened to the horror genre that shows a growing appetite for watching torture, or at least a desire to explore it on film? And if so, why would that be? I can't pretend I know. I just know I don't like it.

I love the Shakespeare history plays, I love the struggle for the crown as a plot.
