And I'm not even thinking about it.

I just pick up a pen and I start writing down what I'm going to change in that bit.

I just start working on it immediately.

And if I work on it when I read it, that's the one I'm going to do.

And I've stuck true to that.

Even as I was saying before, sometimes it can be a really imperfect document.

But there's just a couple of things that resonate.

So it's like, okay.

I have to do it.

My joke is that in that way I respect the gods of film.

It's like I'm only there because I have my reasons and I need to be there.

And that way now it doesn't always work out.

But you can do the greatest pedigree movie and it tanks.
