Now the printed interviews (click on the links to acess them):
We’re really fucking weird creatures, us actors. We want to be in extreme situations sometimes to tell a real story. And it does tell something universal. This character is as near to me as any others I’ve played, to be honest. The middle class, the father, being in northwest London. It all felt very real and I had immediate access to it.
I just captured little moments — to remember to play, to be open with the kids, and also how to distance myself,” he explained. “I found it difficult. When the camera was on I was trying to be dad, who isn’t a very good dad, and then when the camera was off, trying to be a much better dad to get these children to feel comfortable, to feel like friends who could play with me. That was a joyous thing to do. It’s a feast for an actor, so [there was] a lot to lure me to the project.
