Television has changed. The very nature of it is not even television anymore.

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.

I have a bad time between jobs because I'm always convinced I'll never work again. I think it may be an English thing, this fear of unemployment.

You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction', and it goes right in the bin.

I can't do anything else. So if this falls through, I'm screwed.

I will watch everything that Cary Grant did, or Kubrick made or Bergman.

How would you compare Polanski or Kubrick? I try not to do any comparisons.
