Any period is fascinating: the more ancient, the better.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think every period - except for the 14th century, or something - has some merits.
I think any period in history can be adapted into interesting fiction, as long as you approach the actual history with respect.
It's interesting because I haven't done a lot of period work in the past, but I always wanted to because I'm interested in history.
I've always wanted to do a period movie, to do something the turn of the century, and I'm really fascinated by that whole time period.
A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.
If good history is dispassionate history, it must naturally wait until the passions of the period subside.
I don't worry whether the period is contemporary or three hundred years ago. Human beings are all alike.
I'm a big fan of period pieces, and I'm a big fan of the old-time westerns.
I love period pieces. It's where my skill sets lie, with the horseback riding, the sword fighting and the accents. I love that world, and I love working on those big, epic shows. That's what I hope to find myself in, in the future.
So history is fertile territory for me and I think I could feel happy with any period of history, provided I had the right sources and the necessary time for the initial research.
