Yeah, I found it... I was actually pleased with myself that I did it because it was a good spot.

I find it very easy to be distracted.

In writing, you've got to sit down and find a time to write.

And for myself, the difference for me is I've spent all my life as an actor writing

or producer and doing film and television, yes, telling stories.

But I've spent all my life doing that, and I know the disciplines for it, and I've earned my living that way.

Writing, I'm not a 35-year-old banking on having a writing career.

So writing is more of a joy and an opportunity to be imaginative.

And so, you know, I go, well, do I want to be imaginative today or not, you know?

And so I don't have that discipline.

And sometimes I've got to go, mate, Alan and Unwin have said, you promised them a book.

Will you sit down for three days and write something?

So the discipline's hard.

So being on the plane, I went, this is a good chance to do something.

Well, of course, I don't know if it does, but what I've been doing for 50 years is telling stories, lots and lots of stories, either as an actor where someone presents a script and they would like me to play a character in it,

and I read the script and I go, do I like this story?

Do I want to be associated with this story?

Then I look at the character and I go, okay, can I play that character?

Can I deliver a character that fits this story in all the way?

So I'm basically interpreting what someone else has laid down.
