The simple fact is, offense is taken, not given.

I'm quite squeamish, really. I'm philistine and unsophisticated - not because of my great discerning palate but other reasons. Some are moral grounds, some texture.

That’s the other thing I learned that day, that the truth, however shocking or uncomfortable, in the end leads to liberation and dignity.

Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.

I use people's real voices because I want realism. So often I mention the actors' physicality because I want it to be like a real documentary.

I used to believe in God. The Christian one, that is (There are a few thousand to choose from. But I was born in a country where the dominant religion was Christianity so I believed in that one. Isn't it weird how that always happens?). Luckily I was also interested in science and nature. And reason and logic. And honesty and truth. And equality and fairness. By the age of eight I was an atheist.

I'm not from around these parts. I'm from a little place called England: we used to run the world before you.
