Miranda Seymour

It's time that we gave our children what we owe them, which is a richer understanding of the past and of the importance of all that Germany has done for England and that England has done for Germany.

I was brought up by my father to think that the best thing in life was to be charming, to have a nice smile, always to be liked.

My brother and I shared an isolated area at the top of the house; we would clamber over the roof and gables and grow our imaginations. But it didn't feel ideal at the time.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I don't like to get in front of people.

I would say that the majority of the people I work with are Swedish, very unknown producers and writers but so talented.
