storyline
I love a really good storyline.
ideas people might
Other people have a much better idea of what I might do than I.
delight stressful blockbuster
To do a blockbuster that isn't stressful is a delight.
pale angst
You can't be angsty all day or else it becomes a sort of pale angst.
london facts
In fact I'd like to go back and live in Shakespeare's London.
acting sound ridiculous
It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.
real responsibility way
If you're playing any real person, live or dead, you certainly have a responsibility to produce that reputation in some way.
helping-others thinking actors
I'm not that comfortable with actors receiving honours, partly because I think they ought to go to those who really help others.
trying today would-be
In today's politics, it would be good to have politicians who are more upfront about what they felt and actually not trying to bend with every breeze. They're infuriating, all of them.
fun people way
I like reflecting the culture I understand best, spotting the idiosyncrasies of British people and revealing them to an audience in a way that amuses is what I find fun.
helping film old-english
It's funny how a film about a murderous old English toff can help you.
different culture film
The films I enjoy seeing are those that reveal lives I was unaware of... in different cultures or whatever.
discipline havens
I haven't got a writer's discipline.
selfish thinking careers
Oh, I think I've been entirely selfish with my career. I've done what I wanted to do, and not put myself out for anyone else particularly.
