I came to live in Shepperton in 1960. I thought: the future isn't in the metropolitan areas of London. I want to go out to the new suburbs near the film studios. This was the England I wanted to write about because this was the new world that was emerging.
When it comes down to it it's about who you know and who's a fan. It's about whether you're the right age whether you're hot or not whether the studio is into you or not.
