Mike Leigh Quotes
He's [Constable] a great painter as far as it goes, but I don't think he's remotely interesting. Not really.

Constable is just very nice, basically. And moving on to personality, Constable was a very dull character.

I must thank my good friend Nigel Brennan. His strength of character in the midst of extreme hardship inspired me during the darkest days.
