as you get on through friday. anywhere facing those western shores could well pick up enough cloud for the odd bit of rain, but again, some brightness and could be looking at 22, 23 degrees. come the weekend, it won t be west and southwest, it will be south and south westerly winds which will pump it really mild air up and across the greater part of the british isles. it s not wall to wall sunshine, nor is it dry for everybody. there will be a scattering of showers, but for the time of year, i suspect it will feel very pleasantly mild.
and just, i want to be in a situation where the director trusts me to operate, and that gives me a bit of freedom to take a chance on something, if i feel it spontaneously, and maybe they ll shout at me, but they ll still forgive me for screwing up the take. it doesn t happen very often, thank god, but, you know. yeah, and that, you just, again, used a word ifind fascinating, trust . yeah. is it true, and, again, it s something i read about you and i ve now got this opportunity to find out if it s really true, that you felt you could never work, for example, with ridley scott, because you felt that he would be too intrusive on your part of the film making? no, it wasn t. yeah, well, it wasn t that. i mean, i ve talked to ridley scott over the years a lot, and obviously he was producer on blade runner, but years ago,
a relatively mild direction. any suggestion of the cold air behind tonight s lowjust over the northeast of scotland, that will be pulled away and will all be flooded into this moisture laden west to south westerly air flows as you get on through friday. anywhere facing those western shores could well pick up enough cloud for the odd bit of rain, but again, some brightness and could be looking at 22, 23 degrees. come the weekend, it won t be west and southwest, it will be south and south westerly winds which will pump really mild air up and across the greater part of the british isles. it s not wall to wall sunshine, nor is it dry for everybody. there will be a scattering of showers, but for the time of year, i suspect it will feel very pleasantly mild.
i would never have had a career as a director and worked on the kind of films i ve worked on with other directors, would i? yeah. and if my career had started out and i d gone in that direction, directing, i might have, if i d been i don t know. i don t know, but i, you know, equally, i could have been a stills photographer, and, god, would i have loved to have beenjames nachtwey? i don t know, you know? you don t know where you ll go, you know? well, i guess we re pretty glad you took the path you did. so am i, so am i! so it s all right, you know, thinking i could have been. maybe next time around, we ll have a look, you know? i mean, i might also be a fisherman next time around. we ve been down in devon, and i ve been doing quite a bit of fishing. i love fishing. well, i guess that s for another hardtalk, but,
sometimes it s the quietest set i ve ever been on. you know, itjust, once you re working on a set, everything becomesjust, i don t know. i guess because you know each other so well, you know what they want. they know what you like. exactly. and you ve sort of gelled together. yeah. and you read one of their scripts and it s like immediately apparent where they re going. all their scripts are very different. they re very different genres and they play with different themes. but you read that, you read their script and straight off you can visualise it. erm, it s interesting. yeah. let me drill a little bit, if i may, into your own psychology, because you ve said actually you feel that you re quite a shy and introverted person. iam, yeah. ..and yet you re working in this industry that we all feel is full of glamour and big egos and personality. yeah, it is and it isn t. i mean, maybe i ve been lucky.
