There is nothing far-fetched about disappointment as a subject for comedy. It's something we are all too familiar with.

Disappointment is an endless wellspring of comedy inspiration.

I only really watch my own films, I don't watch any other films and I don't particularly like any other actors.

I value being able to go into a record shop and people leaving me alone.

Not all Peter Greenaway's stuff is sequential, narrative story. Some of it is like an art installation and I'm not particularly interested in being in an art installation to be honest. I'm interested in the story.

If you are a plumber, you can work on a shed, or you can work on a mansion. It's just scale.

Thank you, people of Emmyland. To be nominated in such company is an honour, especially for two shows that I’m immensely proud of. I’m delighted.
