I love Tom Wilkinson and Tommy Lee Jones as well as Jessica Chastain. But the person I look up to most, not because I identify with her roles but because of who she is as a person, is Sissy Spacek.
It's not a British attitude to dedicate yourself to such an extent as he [Wilkinson] does. . . He is such a dedicated so-and-so who only thinks about booting it over the posts
Alec Wilkinson is a spare, clear, and lucid writer who works in stylistic simplicity with material that is not simple at all.
