I think certain periods of history don't get dealt with because I think historians, and it's their job, but they look back and look for patterns. They look for sequences and they look for reasons, and certain periods of history don't fit with the general pattern of 1500 to the 20th century, during which there's the creation of the United States. At this time of 1814, two nations who would eventually become close allies were at war with each other, so it doesn't quite fit.
Steven KnightI relish the eight-hour format of a single season because it gives you time to do that.
Steven KnightI love cooking and kitchens.It's just a great world, and I wanted to explore it. You see the faรงade, the outside, the public part, and then you just walk through one door marked "Staff Only" and you're in a different universe.
Steven KnightI like to create a character where you believe, deep down, that they don't really care if they live or die. That's very liberating for the character because, if the character is prepared to die, then they can do anything. It's impossible to stop them.
