I asked a chum who had written a book before - 'How do you decide
where to start?' - as I was determined not to write the story from
the beginning to the end. That would be very predictable and
boring, I thought. After all, I was a filmmaker and filmmakers
don't tell stories in chronological order. Also I'm dyslexic and
I've never written anything before and I read very seldom as it's a
very big chore for me. Anyhow, he told me to think of what was the
most important thing that ever happened in my life. Was it the
moment I was waving goodbye to my friends off the deck of a massive
ocean liner, the Oriana, on my way to an uncertain world in
Australia at the tender age of 17? Was it the moment the police
came to my front door one Sunday evening to tell me that my son,
Orlando, was dead? Was it the day I discovered that my father was a
spy? Was it the day I directed my first movie? Or was it the day I
died and miraculously returned to life again after 19 days in a
coma? No - none of these. I think the most memorable event of my
life was when I walked out of a pawn shop in Sydney in 1963, having
hocked the old Leica camera my father gave me before I left
England, and with the proceeds bought a saddle - which was now over
my shoulder, looking to hitch a ride out of town to the Outback, to
find a horse, to become a cowboy and realise my childhood dream.
What was I doing? Was I completely mad?
