I remember someone said to me, Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep. Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.

I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.

It has to be absolutely believable. It's also going between images and scenes with nudity and sexuality that would be seen, in conventional terms, as kind of sexually exciting. It's up against things that are much more medical and gynecological, and notoriously we, as a culture and a society, have some issues with that kind of thing.

I try not to pay any attention to clothes fascism and I'd rather be thought of as someone who has his own sense of style.
