I'm As Poor As A Church Mouse,

I Enjoy Racing Historic Motorcars From The '50s And '60s. The Seed Of My Interest Was Planted When I Was About 12 Years Old And Took Over My Mother's Morris Minor. I Drove It Around My Father's Farm. But My Favorite Car Is Still A Mclaren F1, Which I Have Had For 10 Years.

I'm More Critical Of The Films I Make Than Anyone Else.

What Directors Of Television Drama Constantly Tell You Is 'don't Act It. Don't Try. Don't Emphasise That Word'. Whereas With Someone Like Blackadder, Even Though He's A Relatively Low Key Character In A Way, He Did Relish The Lines That He Had And The Words That He Was Given, With A Lot Of Inflection.

I Have Always Worried About Things More Than I Should.

Look, If I'd Wanted A Lecture On The Rights Of Man, I'd Have Gone To Bed With Martin Luther.
