“I have been apprehensive only twice in my whole life. The first was when I arrived at that bakery in the Mile End Road, there was a car park and I saw all these trucks and lorries and generators. I saw the mass of a feature film unit for the first time that morning when I was doing those tests. That did make me nervous. The second time was the first morning, about the first half hour of shooting The Knack which was my first feature. Since then there has never been a moment. Thanks to Jimmie Richie and John Taylor, I had complete poise and confidence”.
