I'm a hard-mouthed northeastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England.
I sympathize with every kitchen porter.
I've got lots of weird illustrations of me from Japanese fans.
I love the old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies; they're so beautiful to look at. It's such a shame we don't make them anymore. Although, I don't know how you could make tap dancing current and topical.
I go into meetings with some film-makers and they literally have nothing to say, they're almost bored by their own material. I'd rather work with people who are very passionate and very animated about what they want to do. People who just want to tell stories.
I never had a father figure so I never missed it.
