I’ve seen your work, and I know that your vision will still come through.

Sometimes having the fanciest equipment can actually get in the way. You start to feel obligated to use all those doo-dads and thingummies, when actually, it’s all about the story.

Always the story.

Polaroids of story boards would be enough if the story was good.

And I think you know good stories.

I don’t think I’ll ever go out dancing again, and that’s all it ever was, not the sort of dancing as performance.

But trout fishing and mushroom hunting . . . I think that’s just a case of me saying to myself, ‘but that was important, and I’m going to make time for it again.’

Are the bagpipes hung on a hook somewhere, waiting for a visit?
