So my version of Free Willy is E.T.

Where were you watching it?

What happened?

I think I was taken to E.T.

for the first time by my Uncle John.

My Uncle John was a paranoid schizophrenic.

He was a guy that struggled a lot with life, but he really loved me.

He loved kids.

And I remember the moment when suddenly I reached the age where I was slightly too old for him because I think he didn't like it when...

people noticed that he was a bit different.

And there's a moment as a kid, obviously, where you sort of start seeing the world a bit like other people see the world.

And before that, he was just my brilliant, enchanting Uncle John.

And then suddenly he was Uncle John's a bit different.

But yes, he took me to the cinema a bit, I think.

And I think he was the first person to take me to E.T.

And when I was a kid, because I'm a lot older than you,

films would stick around in the cinema.

So films would be on for years sometimes.

I was a kid like you.

Films were my way of controlling life.
