And that's why I sort of hate, it's funny that you were saying that as well, about when people say, oh, this is boring.

Like when you talk to people and they say, oh, I don't have this.

interesting a job as you you think I bet you do and then you know maybe not as interesting a job so to speak but people always have a story that they kind of want to tell and so being able to have the access to those people for them to feel like so what do you do and then people tell you incredible things and that's the stuff that I that I I love and I don't know if that's about being Irish or whether that's just being interested in people or whatever but or if it's to do with

being artistic i don't know what it is but you know that that that's the that i think is the the thing that you want to i would be very very lost without that's why i mean you've you've had all this success movies and television and i read that you make a real point of doing theater regularly you love i mean this is something we have in common i love being in a theater i also love sort of

Nothing in an old theater, if you know what I'm saying.

There's this extraordinary moment.

I went to see the amazing Mark Rylance in Jerusalem.

And there's this extraordinary theatrical sort of trick he did.

I'm trying to think if there's something here too.

So he had a fight for it.

Yeah.

cigarette lighter and he was he was um he was playing a he was playing a giant it was about giants it was sort of about folklore yeah in the english countryside and um somebody had a lighter and he was telling the story about a giant talking to a child and to make this sort of um this theatrical sort of gesture he put this cigarette lighter down on the ground like like here yeah

He put it down here, like on the ground, and he sort of stood it up.

He spoke down to this... A cigarette lighter.

The cigarette lighter.

And so you immediately, it was at the Royal Court Theatre, you immediately had this sense of scale.

Yeah.

That's just, that's got nothing to do with CGI or, you know, it's so much... Thank you very much.

I'll never wash this pen cap again.

And he's a real pen washer.
