Britain is producing some of the worst films in the world. Our film,industry is desperate to be part of America, and we just churn out,flaccid imitations of bad films over there.
Actors are accustomed to doing exactly what the director or writer,requests us to do, and rarely get involved in that part of the process.
I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness,of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob,Dylan.
Occasionally I go shopping for clothes, but I find the whole thing a,real chore.
I lead a very boring life.
The events with Henry III happened, obviously the way it happened,liberties were taken.
