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

I don't care to analyze acting. On the other hand there is a fascination because distributors are putting out British films. You get films here with great performances you'll never see again. Why compare. We should go after the businessmen.

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

A good part of why I never went back to England was part of that, I didn't want to be in those sort of flowery films. But I think it's a nice change of pace-I don't know how long it'll go for. There will always be the Merchant-Ivory/Kenneth Branagh movies, but there's something else now-really, it's always been there but the Americans getting to see it makes all the difference.

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

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