“I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations.

“Well I liked the mixture actually. It's really good fun to have throughout a shoot to move from something which is quite character based in certain scenes where there's very little action and you're just working with actors and I suppose I've had quite a lot of practice at that.

And sometimes you get these scenes where they blend.” WellsLittlesSometimesCharacterActionMovingCertainActorsFunChancePracticeSceneCrewMixturesGood Fun Author:Oliver Parker
