I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right?

Any show in its first season is going to probably have some growing pains.

The more varied the characters, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

There just seems to be more acceptance now of other kinds of British films, than the picture-postcard ones.

I'm sick of very white teeth and lots of gymnasium practice. I'm bored, you know, send in the next one. I wanted a real man that I could believe was my brother, my father, you know, my next-door neighbor - a real person.

Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me.

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