affinity came claws connected cricket defining felt grew tour zimbabwe
When I was 15, I went on a cricket tour of Zimbabwe with my school. My defining memory of it was stroking a semi-tame lioness at a game reserve. I grew up on a farm, so I felt I had an affinity with animals, and when it put a paw out, I thought I'd connected with it. But its claws came out and nicked my leg. Then I did the most stupid thing: I ran.
men decision choices
What makes a man a man? It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things but how he finishes them.
people stretch themselves
I always think people who stretch themselves are interesting. That's something to admire, isn't it?
I always had a soft spot for Sandra Bullock.
drained killer revealed truth watching
I was watching a Storyville documentary called 'Blackfish' about killer whales in captivity. I was emotionally drained by the end. It revealed a real behind-the-scenes truth on what we do with animals.
good stories until
Essentially, I never know what I'm going to do until I read the script, but a good story is a good story. I would like to do more modern stuff, but ultimately, it doesn't matter to me - good stories are timeless.
aaron alongside
I've always loved the writing of Aaron Sorkin. He cleverly intersperses big issues alongside personal relationships.
The most adventurous I've been was doing Raleigh International when I was 20.
enjoyed finished quite time
I've just finished a book called 'The Time Traveler's Wife', which I really enjoyed, but that's quite old, but I have read it. I've read it, and I enjoyed that.
love period
I've done a lot of period dramas, but I love modern productions, too.
I loved 'The West Wing'; it's my favourite-ever television show.
