Shooters Q&A

Films I wish I had made: Bearing in mind I've chosen films I haven't seen but wanted to make; 'Perfume', 'Constantine' because I'd have been true to the character, 'His Dark Materials', and, of course, 'The Garden', which IS going to be my first feature and if I'd made it, then by now all involved would be reaping the rewards...
I left the cinema during: A power cut.
Directors I love: In no particular order, and I don't love any of them but I do think they've all made at least one wonderful film and some have made more - Nicholas Roeg, Michael Winterbottom, Lukas Moodysson, Pavel Pawlikowski, Tony and Ridley Scott, Nagisa Oshima, Wong Kar Wai, Francis Ford Coppola, Lynne Ramsey, Mike Hodges, Kathryn Bigelow...
Actors I admire: In no particular order but probably as a consequence of a conversation, a recent viewing or a wish list; Jean Reno, Daniel Auteuil, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Miranda Richardson, Paddy Considine, Judi Dench, Peter O'Toole, Michael Caine, Catherine Deneuve, Clive Owen, Julie Christie...
My desert island discs: 'Africa' and 'Haile I Hymn' by I Jah Man Levi; The Clash Box Set of everything; Nick Cave compilation; Pink Floyd; '2nd Honeymoon', 'English Boys - Working Girls' and 'Don't Stop The World' by Deaf School...
Books I have given my friends: 'The Illuminatus' Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, 'Perfume' by Patrick Suskind, 'His Dark Materials' by Philip Pullman, 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananda, 'Hellblazer' first 5 issues, then they either got it or they didn't, this is the real John Constantine...
My death row meal: My accuser's heart served warm and still beating... with chips.
The best thing I own: Free will...
More about me: I resisted the profile questions for a long time because I knew what would happen, once you start naming Directors, Actors, Films, Books, Music the temptation is keep adding and amending...
