When I direct my own scripts, it's much easier as it's been in my head for a year already... What I love about this is having an idea and seeing it come to fruition on screen. I would like to direct someone else's script one day, but I might not get round to it before I die - you can't legislate for being hit by a bus!

Ricky GervaisWith 'The Office' and 'Extras' I've always snuck in a little bit of heart and pathos - and drama, which is fun.
