Architecture is my work, and Ive spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.
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.
I believe the teacher's work is largely negative, that it is largely a matter of saying, "This doesn't work because ..." or "This does work because ..." The because is very important. The teacher can help you understand the nature of your medium, and he can guide you in your reading.
Ive gotten to know a number of readers from being online, and really treasure the time Ive spent with them.
