I'll tell you, there's no goodies and baddies in the world, there's just people with intentions that sometimes clash.
The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies.
I believe, ultimately, there are more goodies than baddies in the world, and you have to remind yourself of that.
If you break things down to goodies and baddies, the baddies are always a bit more alluring in fiction, and that's true from a narrative point of view. But I wanted to write a novel about real life, and real life is a bit more nuanced than that.
My mother's childhood was complex, disjointed, and disturbing. As children, we would gather round and ask her to tell us again and again The Story of Her Childhood. It was Grimmsian, Andersenesque: a classic fairy tale replete with goodies and baddies.
It's weird, because usually if you're British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies in America.
When a show starts out, you're immediately trying to identify your goodies and baddies, and trying to place people in your mind where you think they belong.
Certainly in 'Stella' there weren't really any baddies. And if there were, they were quite ineffectual baddies. And the same is true of 'Gavin & Stacey.' I like people to be redeemed.
All actors will tell you that baddies are where the money is because they stick in people's minds.
I think that there are just people who are hurting other people, sometimes for the best of intentions and sometimes for the worst. In different times in my life, I've been the hero and I've been the villain. I also think that we're all evil sometimes.
If you think about Shakespeare, you remember Richard III and Macbeth before you remember Ferdinand, whose role is just to fall in love and be a bit of a wimp. I love the baddies. More important, though, is making the baddies somehow, weirdly, understood.
Sometimes you just have to let people escape with their good intentions intact.
I appreciate people who are authentic. Someone who just wants to be cool, I can tell when their intentions aren't right.
I have noticed that the Universe loves gratitude. The more grateful you are, the more goodies you get. When I say 'goodies', I don't mean only material things. I mean all the people, places and experiences that make life so wonderfully worth living.
There is of course a dark side to panto because there are always baddies and you can't have a baddie without a dark side. But most of the time the baddies become good.
Good intentions have been the ruin of the world. The only people who have achieved anything have been those who have had no intentions at all.
You have to think an awful lot about your motivations or people's behavioral intentions or what their body language can indicate or what's really going on or what makes people sometimes do, sometimes, the irrational things they do.
