Shooters Q&A

Films I wish I had made

Groundhog day ... Groundhog day ... Groundhog day ...
I cried watching

Loud incoherent films intending to be clever
I left the cinema during

Films with endless bad language, sex, vandalism and destruction and no emotional depth
Directors I love

Good directors should be noticeable by their invisibility.
Actors I admire

Anthony Hopkins, my brief schoolday/college acquaintance

Writers I respect

William Shakespeare
My desert island discs

Slipped I'm afraid (probably because of age).
Books I have given my friends

Too many to mention - and I would like them back - particularly that book of Alan Aldridge Beatles illustrations whichever one of you has got it.
My death row meal

All day breakfast with black sausage and fried bread!
The best thing I own

An 8 seater Mazda Bongo MPV to use as a comfortable base. Small media/art studio space.
More about me

Yes, there is more about me, particularly my waist, than there used to be. But I'm working on it!
