I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

I think that I've learned to relax, and trust in and hire very talented people, and trust in their abilities a little more.

I fancy myself at being pretty good at understanding a script and finding the weaknesses, and then making them more radical than they are. People tend to listen to me.

The point came when people were doing things I didn't feel competent to do myself. I'm not being modest; I honestly get lost. I was lucky in spotting what I did when I did, but there comes a point where you realise what you're doing is not going to be much good.

I surround myself with positive, productive people of good will and decency.

I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I want to be known as a nice and normal person, but my skills are a little more excelled.

I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.

I view my role more as trying to set up an environment where the personalities, creativity and individuality of all the different employees come out and can shine.

I aspired to be extremely sophisticated.
