The way he describes this is great. It reminds me of The Bricklayer's Lament by Gerard Hoffnung (sp?), but you know....with a golf cart. If anyone's heard it? If you haven't then you definitely should. The comedy timing's spot on.
@5005LUNA "I got very cocky cause we'd just done some exceptional stuff.", meaning some crazy maneuvers in the golf cart. LOL! His Scottish accent is delightful, and might be easier for you to understand after listening for awhile. :)
Thanks for posting this!!! I drove 3 hrs to attend this interview & sat 6 ft from him....a real thrill for me. He was even more charming, funny & intelligent than I expected. He is a refreshingly honest actor & seems to really enjoy sharing his craft with others!! TImesTalks is a great format & venue for in-depth interviews....THANKS!!
@Danala22 Worth the drive, wasn't it? ;) He really is a *gem*; so glad you were there! ITA about TimesTalks - so satisfying compared to 10 minute sound bite interviews! Would LOVE to see Craig do one.
@NightOwl5172 Yes I did briefly; he's utterly charming on and off-camera. :) The Times site usually only posts clips, but you can d/l the entire interview. Check your YT inbox.

This is so funny, but I love the end when the interviewer is laughing then goes back to making a straight face. lol

I love James. Every part he has played in film has been exceptional. I don't even think he realises how sexy he is.
