My personal problem is that I take the business of film-making so seriously that I find it very difficult to relax.

Art is something that nobody laughs at and nobody makes any money out of is the attitude, which I would dispute.

But I always feel that whatever I do, I could do better. I suppose it is perfectionism.

I would never be a television presenter. It's not something I could ever do.

It's not easy to take a sit-com and turn it into a feature.

Marketing is what gets you noticed, and that side of it something - this side of it, if you like, doing interviews - is the side of it that I least enjoy, and yet is 50% of the project.

It's the demand in many ways of modern television drama - it's very low key and naturalistic, and, generally speaking, the characters that I've played have not been low key and naturalistic.
