I Often Think It Can

I Have A Great Deal Of Respect For The Craft, I Don't Know How Much Respect It Has For Me. But It's A Precision Process. Doing It On Stage Would Be, I Think, Terrifying. Doing It On Film Has Its Own Difficulties, Because Film Is Not Conducive To Spontaneity. You Might Have A Run Through And Get A Few Chuckles At Eight O'clock In The Morning, But You Don't Keep Laughing At The Same Thing All Day Long.

It Does Help To Actually Realize That However Stunning The Person Who Is, You Know, Fluttering Eyelashes At You, She Doesn't Do Anything To Match Up To Your Wife.

I Don't Know If This Qualifies As Gentle Reassurance, But Right Now This Is All That Stands Between Me And A Harley-davidson.

It's A Very Dangerous State. You Are Inclined To Recklessness And Kind Of Tune Out The Rest Of Your Life And Everything That's Been Important To You. It's Actually Not All That Pleasurable. I Don't Know Who The Hell Wants To Get In A Situation Where You Can't Bear An Hour Without Somebody's Company.

I Can Actually Get Involved In Getting Stories Off The Ground That No One Would Ask Me To Be In Because I'm The Wrong Age, The Wrong Sex, The Wrong Nationality, Or Whatever. I've Found It Quite Exhilarating To Have That Freedom To Tell The Stories That Aren't Just About Middle-aged White English Guys.
