director love primary work
The first and primary requirement for me in a director that I'd want to work with is: do they love writing, and do they love the collaboration process with writers?
people society
I don't understand and don't enjoy sci-fi, and it's just that if people aren't real, and they don't live in a real and recognizable society, I don't understand what to do.
either
You're either a person with a conscience, or you're not. I think I've got quite a fine conscience.
articulate
You can be far more challenging, articulate and intelligent writing for television than you can writing for the cinema.
audience entire experience inch life movies people test uniform within
People test movies within an inch of their life so that the entire audience experience is a uniform one.
good offered
I'm not good at fantasy, no. I have been offered stuff, and I can't get my head around it.
incredibly mapping quickly
I wrote 'Hereafter' quickly and without mapping it out too much or being too schematic. As an exercise, I think that was incredibly important.

I actually speak fluent German. And I live in Vienna, and I'm married to a Viennese woman.
german grew immigrant married teased
As a child, I grew up the son of German immigrant parents, so I grew up being teased and called 'Fritz' at school. When I married my wife and went to live in Vienna, I was teased for being a Brit.

Generally, I read nonfiction. There's very little fiction that I enjoy enough to spend my time reading. I am generally a nonfiction guy.

There are people who are bound journalistically to a code of ethics that means they can't quote something that isn't sourced, whereas what I do is entirely unsourced. I effectively fictionalise history and yet somehow aim at a greater truth.
constantly evolve exciting fact failure fall high trying wire
I'm not an artist, and I want to take risks, and when the possibility of failure occurs, it's because the idea is all exciting or interesting as a high wire act, and sometimes you've got to fall off, just by virtue of the fact that you're constantly trying to evolve and do new things.
alone director leave rehearsals script writer
It's madness to hand in a script to a director, leave them alone, and for the director not to want the writer there with rehearsals and the shoot.
belong gives status
If you don't belong somewhere, that outsider status you have gives you perspective. Of course, another word for outsider is 'exile,' and that's not fun at all.
