I am never driven. Every film I've made has been an assignment.
And working on 'Grantchester' is a joy. Ive been in the business for 35 years and Ive never been on a film set that is so joyous and life-affirming.
Ive never taken a vacation. Ive never been to Europe. Every time I planned to do something big, I got a job, and I could never pass that up.
Ive had one very bad ankle injury but otherwise Ive been incredibly lucky with my fitness. Ive worked hard at it and Ive always been fit even compared to other players. That sustains you through various parts of your career, but I am 36.
I don't know if there's ever been a female-driven film or a male-driven film. I don't believe in that. I believe a film is a film - a movie can only work if everything about the film works.
Ive been very lucky that Ive never had cellulite. My body was always firm.
I am driven by a desire to see poverty end and economic security be a guaranteed capacity for every person. Most of the impediments or solutions are state-driven, not federally driven.
I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan. I literally love every single film. He hasn't made a bad film; I've seen every single one. They've all been brilliant, from 'Bottle Rocket' up to 'Moonrise Kingdom,' they've all been wonderful.
Ive never taken for granted what weve had, not for one single game, not one single practice, ... Ive truly been blessed.
Interestingly, I never thought Id do an adaptation. Ive also been quite against them. I think trying to translate one medium to another is wrong. I never really felt that books fitted into film. Generally people are disappointed, arent they?
The mania started with insomnia and not eating and being driven, driven to find an apartment, driven to see everybody, driven to do New York, driven to never shut up.
Its always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, Ive been lucky with the things Ive been asked to do.
My assignment is what every writer's assignment is: tell the truth of his own time.
Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.
Ive always been a romantic who wanted to be married. Ive got lots of friends who have never felt that way, but for me to be married and to be with someone for your whole life is challenging but its wonderful.
Every film I've made has a kind of frustrated love story in the center of it. They were people who saw life from opposing points of view, which has been in every film I've ever done. It had all the ingredients of the kinds of films I like to do.
