It's my favourite film.

I said, what are you talking about?

He said, there is this circus is coming into town and they have all this elephant, all these elephants, they are coming down Fifth Avenue, you have to come.

I said, okay, okay, when are we doing that?

He said, now it's happening.

Totally.

Those discussions don't... Is it something British, do you think?

Because I've been in those situations before where my mum or someone will go, well, here's what I want.

And then you go, no, no, no, we don't talk about that sort of thing.

We don't need to.

You're bumming me out now.

How was directing for the first time?

Because obviously you've worked with some incredible directors.

Did you like draw...

The cast is bananas.

Bananas.

Like every character that walks on the screen, you're like, oh my God, it's another national treasure.

It's insane.

I was going to say as well, like on top of all of these incredible actors, you've got quite a lot of children involved in the production as well.

That's fine.
