I Don't Like The Way

What Point Is There To All The Wealth And Power That America May Have If They Can't Look After Its Own?

The Films That I Really Enjoy Now Are Films That Are Made By, For Wont Of A Better Word, Mavericks.

The Acting I Got Into By Doing What We Call Pantomime, When I Was Sixteen. And, There Were Loads Of Very Pretty Girls In The Show. I Realized; I Found Out Very Early On, That The Lead Comic Gets The Girl. So, That Was Cool. When I Went To University, I Studied Economic Social History. And Drama. That Kind Of Got Me Into It. My Main Passion Was To Make Films. It Was Never To Be An Actor. At That Time, There Weren't Many Opportunities For A Working Class Scottish Actor. It Was Kind Of An English Thing. And It Required A Certain Mannered Cerebral Acting Style That I Couldn't Relate To.

In The Acting Game, You Spend A Long Time Fighting Against What The Director Perceives You To Be. And Half The Time The Directors Don't Know.

Filmmaking Is Something I Have To Do. It's Not Something I Particularly Want To Do.
