We can play politics or we can reduce crime.
Politics is politics art is art. If you play a political role you have to stop being an artist.
Acting is fun and I refuse to get involved in the semantics and the politics of strategy and breaking out of something or doing something because you need to do something else. For me it's all about what fuels my soul and if I'm passionate about a screenplay then that's what I'll do next.
We would not have our politics distracted and embittered by the dissensions of other lands.
Be your own politics grow your own garden and maybe you can help out more.
I always wanted to work at 'Take A Break' magazine you know just to inject a little bit of politics into their stories. I applied for a job there after I'd done my law degree and didn't even get an interview. I only wrote 'Garnethill' because I didn't get that job!
I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so ' no one says 'you're so moody ' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass and I'm very confrontational and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.
I would say that no film is apolitical. There are politics in all films. Any film that is anchored in a society any film that deals with humanity is necessarily political.
Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer.
I just feel like I'm a very lucky person to have a new life outside of politics.
