Neil Jordan

Thank you, Ryan.

Great to be here,

yeah.

We have met several times, sometimes in passing over a glass of something.

Very

rarely.

Rarely.

Rarely, yeah.

And only at last.

And yeah,

we never stayed too late.

And then occasionally on The Late Late Show in the past.

And you've always struck me as being the kind of guy who just wants to make movies and write books rather than get into the...

Maybe tawdry business of flogging them.

No, I love flogging

books.

Do you? Oh, yeah.

I'd love to be more user-friendly.

What's the word? I'd love to be a promotional genius.

It's just, you know, it's not the most interesting aspect of what one does.

No, I appreciate that.

Let me

put it that way, you know.

But in the world that you move in, you do have to do a lot of interviews.

Yeah, absolutely.

Thank you, Ryan.
