Telling People How To Be Creative Is

Writing Is The Great Skill, The Creative Skill. The Acting Is More An Interpretative Skill. And The Thrill For Me Is The Moment When I Think Of Something. And Then The Challenge Is How To Get That Funny Idea To Work In Terms Of The Structure And That Kind Of Thing, Which Is - And That's What I Really Love Doing.

I Used To Desire Many, Many Things, But Now I Have Just One Desire, And That's To Get Rid Of All My Other Desires.

What I've Always Wanted To Do Is Be As Funny As Possible.

When I Was A Child And I Was Upset About Something, My Mother Was Not Capable Of Containing That Emotion, Of Letting Me Be Upset But Reassuring Me, Of Just Being With Me In A Calming Way. She Always Got In A Flap, So I Not Only Had My Own Baby Panics, Fears And Terrors To Deal With, But I Had To Cope With Hers, Too. Eventually I Taught Myself To Remain Calm When I Was Panicked, In Order Not To Upset Her. In A Way, She Had Managed To Put Me In Charge Of Her. At 18 Months Old, I Was Doing The Parenting.

I Tend To Have An Odd Split In My Mind: I Tend To Look At It As A Writer And When The Writing Thing Is Ok And I'm Happy With It, Then I Put On My Actor's Hat.
