I Think The Dictator Director Is Based Upon Stories From The Past. I Don't Think Anyone Would Put Up With It Now. There Are A Lot Of People On A Film Set With Egos. So, To Be Completely Authoritarian, You'd Probably Have To Have A Reputation Like Kurosowa Or Somebody To Get Away With It.

Actors Are Basically Drag Queens. People Will Tell You They Act Because They Want To Heal Mankind Or, You Know, Explore The Nature Of The Human Psyche. Yes, Maybe. But Basically We Just Want To Put On A Frock And Dance.

Doing A Job, Or Even Watching A Film, Can Make A Difference To Your Life, But I Don't Think It Ever Has An Explosive Impact Where Your Life Will Never Be The Same Again. It Kind Of Seeps Into Your Life, And Perhaps Realise You're A Little More Vigilant About Certain Things Than You Might Have Been.

I Have Almost No Memory Of Them [st. Trinian's Films]. I Don't Think I've Seen Them Since I Was Quite Young. I Was A Bit Frightened Of The Girls. I Fancied Them. Even Though I Was Young, I Found Them Attractive And Rather Frightening. I've Always Been Attracted To Frightening Girls! I'm Married To One!

Almost Every Comedy You See Is About People Making All Wrong Choices And Making All The Errors Of Judgement Possible. Good Comedy Is When It Works On This Scale. Because It Is Psychologically Very Real.
