I still get it with the holiday.
I have no... I just have no idea.
I mean, it's such an amazing feeling that we even made the film and so special to have gone through this with my son.
You know, he's always written all of his life.
I mean, our fridge is still covered in poetry that he wrote when he was seven or eight years old.
And so I think it didn't really surprise me that he...
declared that he was thinking about maybe writing scripts.
And he got a place on a film writing course at the National Film and Television School and was asked to write a screenplay.
And he was encouraged, write what you know.
And so he took inspiration from the most significant thing that happened in his life, which was the loss of his grandmother when he was a teenager, my mum.
And he was so struck by how everyone in this huge family of ours
was able to come together and just geographically how unusual that was to all be in this same space.
And we gave her a really great passing that, frankly, she could only have dreamt of.
And he remembers thinking, my God, we're all here because we all somehow came from this one woman.

It was amazing, really.
It was such an... If I never get to do it again, I just feel so proud, actually, that in this 50th year of my life, when it is much harder, I think, for actresses to transition into directing than it is for our male counterparts, I just feel really, really proud that we've done it and we're very proud of the film.

Still every time, yeah.
I don't like bubbles with my meal.
