Well, this night of you, I've got better. And that is a mystery. Again, I think it's partly parts. When I got too old and ugly to do romantic comedies and started being offered these weirdo parts, it suited me best.

And, you know, I have another weird... I have two theories about it. One is I learned really much too late in my career that you have to mean it, that you have to think it. There's a whole other script behind the script which is all about thoughts and feelings. And prior to that, I'd always just thought, I just need to land this funny line at the right timing. And that's not the way to be good.

So meaning it was one thing. But the other thing was I have a weird theory that it was having children. I think I was a dried up, middle-aged, golf-addicted Englishman. Then I had children and suddenly I had heart and I had more layers or something.

Well, I entirely lost faith that I could do anything else. I believed my critics, really. But I see now maybe I was wrong, because at the very beginning, If I had any talent, it was for doing strange characters and silly voices and things, outlandish things that were nothing like me.

And I had this comedy group that was actually quite successful, the London and Edinburgh sort of fringe circuit, which was all character stuff, you know, silly characters. What kind of year was it? That would be mid-'80s. Okay, okay. And... Yeah, we used to perform in pubs with people like Mike Myers. He was next on the bill. And that was fun.

And actually, just after I made Four Weddings, I shot another film with the same director before Four Weddings was actually released, which was, you know, I was a nicotine-stained, predatory... evil, twisted, unpleasant theatre director. And I was pretty good. And I wish that at least I'd kept that other strand of my career going through all those years and years of rom-coms.

Not that I hasten to add. Not that I hate the romantic comedies. I'm proud of them. It's nice to have made films that actually entertain people. And they're much harder than people think. And in some cases, much better, I think, than the sneerers think. My wife's good on this. She was watching, I think, Love Actually the other day. Because we like to watch one of my films every night.
