HW: If this is a huge success, don’t you plan to pursue more movies?
RG: Well, no, because I was offered 100 films before I took this one…People get offered films all the time. Terrible films. People who have been in 10 terrible films get offered films all the time. It’s not like that’s going to suddenly stop, but it’s not what I do best…nothing is more fun than me and Steve Merchant sitting in a room and laughing about what we just said. Nothing comes close.
HW: You must appreciate the opportunities though, like working with David Bowie.
RG: Of course, of course. But not as exciting as coming up with the idea to work with one of my idols and that’s the truth. It was amazing working with Bowie and all that. But the exciting thing is I wrote a song with David Bowie. Do you know what I mean? And that’s the fun for me.
