Dexter Fletcher

'Sunshine' is really an experiment for me to see if I am a filmmaker beyond having my own stories to tell.

I didn't make 'Wild Bill' because I wanted to become a director; I just wanted to make 'Wild Bill.'

Spending time on 18th-century ships in Tahiti when I was 17 was quite unusual.

I've been lucky enough to do theatre, film, and television for a career. Unless I get offered a job as an astronaut, I won't stray too far from it.

As an older and wiser man, I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work and talent and determination.

It took me a long time to make that leap to being a grown-up and responsible adult because I carried on being a child actor into my late twenties. It's OK to be precocious when you're young, but when you're a man of about 27 or 28 and playing a 17-year-old in a TV show, it kind of prolongs your childhood.
