I don't speculate too much about the future. That's the thing about this job - it's so fickle. You take the jobs, you read the scripts and, if something interests you and you like the people who are working on it, you go for it.

I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year.

I think you judge your career by the scripts that are being sent your way.

I feel that I don't have to wait around for good scripts anymore, that I can get things moving more quickly. I can ring up directors I like and say I'm keen to work with them, which is pretty great.

I've turned down jobs because I've said, 'Honestly, I can't find my way in. I can't do it. I love you, as a director. I think the script is good. You deserve better than I think I can do.'

You just have to take these opportunities when they come along. They're not that frequent; you'll get a really good script, oh, maybe once a year if you're lucky.

You try to go where the great scripts are, if you can, or you go where the not great scripts are, because that's what's being offered to you.

I think I will have a lot of opportunities in the future.

Not all offers I get are exciting and inspiring. I would rather sit at home and not work than jump into mediocrity for the sake of just moving ahead. If it's a good script, I would sacrifice my personal time and grab it.

My focus will be a strong and growing economy - so everyone who wants a job can find one.
