Peter Morgan

It's madness to hand in a script to a director, leave them alone, and for the director not to want the writer there with rehearsals and the shoot.

People test movies within an inch of their life so that the entire audience experience is a uniform one.

Once I start writing about somebody, I become very protective of them.

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

Personally I'm very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.
