I'm Not A Naturally Funny Man. I

One Of The Conventions That I Always Liked Was Doctor Zhivago, Where Everything That's Written On The Screen Is In Russian But Everyone Speaks English. That Seemed To Me To Be Quite A Good Convention To Follow.

I Think I Have An Inner Confidence That My Tastes Are Pretty Simple, That What I Find Funny Finds A Wide Audience. I'm Not Particularly Intellectual Or Clever Or Minority-focused In My Creative Instincts. And I'm Certainly Not Aware Of Suppressing More Sophisticated Ambitions.

To Criticise A Person For Their Race Is A Manifestly Irrational And Ridiculous. But To Criticise Their Religion - That Is A Right. That Is A Freedom.

But I Always Feel That Whatever I Do, I Could Do Better. I Suppose It Is Perfectionism.

At The Moment, I'm Certainly Not Thinking 'never Again', But Neither Am I Thinking 'i Can't Wait To Play That Part Again'. I'm Somewhere In Between.
