Michael Ritchie

Los Angeles has always been on the table with us.

I feel that I'm leaving Williamstown too early, but I'd rather leave too early than too late.

In next five to 10 years I probably would have done my best work, but I was afraid of having another 10 or 15 years ahead of me and feeling stale, so this was an opportunity to reinvigorate myself.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

A beautiful face is a mute recommendation.

I have thrown chairs, but only during football matches. Generally, I am well-behaved. I do not like to make people angry.
