The sets were fantastic. The Harry Potter sets are brilliant. You do get transported for a second.

Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film.

I have a great editor and I enjoy, in a masochistic way, being ruthless about my own performance. How do I know, but I think I'm quite good at saying, "That's no good. That's no good. That's it. That's it. That's good." And I'm with the editor who goes, "No, I think you're wrong. That's not your best." There's an initial point in the editing, if you're directing yourself, especially in my case, where you go, "Ouch, ouch, ouch, I can't watch this." And then, there's a point where you become hard-nosed and just take your neurosis away and go, "What's working? That's okay. That's okay. We can lose that, and lose that." You get objective about it.

Gardeners are good at nurturing, and they have a great quality of patience, they're tender. They have to be persistent.
