Paddy Considine on Creative Freedom

See the article at http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/sep/27/donk-shane-meadows-paddy-considine, eg this (censored by me) quote:
"I can't deal with all the f--king waiting around," he says vehemently. "I'm writing a script at the minute, and the stipulations are mental. Six weeks to write it, five weeks for them to look at it. Then another little bit of money to go forward. All this constant stalling. It's all geared towards how the industry people work. Well, you know what? Creativity doesn't work like that."


He pauses for a moment as Meadows nods his approval, then he says: "I think a lot of people in the industry, the business people, they take the energy that we possess for aggression, and they're frightened of it. But it's not, it's f--king passion. When I'm ready to go, I don't want to wait around for ever, I want to get on with it."
