Shooters Q&A

Films I wish I had made

A Single Man - I had a script in development for which I had Colin Firth in mind to play the role of an older gay man - I knew he would be fabulous in it... but alas that egg is now cracked. I wish I had half of Tom Ford's pulling power!

I cried watching

Call of the Wild, Beau Geste - sad but true (I was 9 at the time)

Directors I love

Clint Eastwood, Robert Rodrigues, Gillian Armstrong, Sally Potter, Jane Campion, Sean Penn, Terry Gilliam, Todd Haynes, Todd Solenz, Steveh Soderbergh - in fact any director with an auteur sensibility who can create compelling stories

Actors I admire

Actors like Daniel Day Lewis, Cate Blanchett, Viggo Mortenson, Colin Firth, James Spader,Susan Sarandon, Marion Cotillard, Johnny Depp, Ian McKellen, Daniel Craig, Sam Shepard,Paul Bettany, Julianne Moore - actors with chameleon qualities who are able to "disappear" into the role.

My desert island discs

Michael Nyman Band, Cat Stevens "Tea for the Tillerman"

My death row meal

Sushi, oysters, marron, lobster, chocolate souffle or creme brulee..... if you know me, you know why!
