Last Tuesday, in his Guardian blog, Matt Wolf asked whether actors make better directors.
Do footballers make better managers? Do paid journalists make better bloggers? How long is a piece of string?
Taking the advice of Stewart Lee, I always keep a piece of string of a known length upon my person to deal with such questions. My piece of string is exactly fifteen centimetres long. *
Tonight I am going to see Creditors, directed by Alan Rickman. Tomorrow, I will let you know whether Alan Rickman makes a good director.
* Although Lee is making a slightly different point, it turns out that string comes in handy when dealing with all sorts of fatuous questions.
