When Are You Ever Settled Enough To

I Had A Very Sparse Comic Upbringing - Not Because I Was Being Whipped Into Reading Chekhov And Dickens, But I Read Asterix On Holidays When I Was A Kid, And Tin Tin Was Featured, I Remember, For A Few Years.

I Don't Want To Miss Things.

I'm Very Proud Of The Work I Do, But I Genuinely Can't Involve Myself With An Audience As Early As Somebody Who's Not Part Of The Film Can. So There's That Side Of Theater That Appeals To Me, Where You Give Something And The Response To What You've Created Is A Communion Between You And The Dark That Contains However Many People. It's Thrilling Not Having A Reflection Other Than Through The People You're Communicating With. But People Ask, "what Do You Prefer?" And I Don't Have A Preference. I Love Them Both. I Really Do.

The Number Of People My Age, Younger Now, A Whole Generation Younger, Who Are Fiercely Bright, Over-educated, Under-employed And Who Are Politicised And Purposeless Really Upsets Me. It's Soul-destroying.

One Of The Fears Of Having Too Much Work Is Not Having Time To Observe. And Once You Get Recognised, There Is Nowhere For You To Look Any More. You Can't Sit On A Night Bus And Watch It All Happen.
