I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other, whilst not jeopardizing the greater good - which is the family.

We grew up as kids watching those movies and we were exposed to themes of civil rights, unfairness, bigotry and fathers struggling against the kind of mob of the town, so you remember how you felt as a kid being taken seriously, that you are part of the human drama.

There's nothing as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.

But just playing the partner of someone famous, I had a lot more freedom.

I just don't see where I could possibly fit in directing a feature.

I'm developing some screenplays at the moment with my Australian producer.
