“Lee is quite a closed shop. He’s a private person and there are only very few people he’s prepared to listen to and trust. Yes, he does isolate himself, he does cut himself off. It’s a huge pressure when you’re constantly having to meet new people, go for dinners, be interviewed, have your photograph taken. You’re putting yourself on the line, you’re having to expose your personal details and I don’t think he wants to do that any more. Why should he? Of course, there is a dark side. But there is also a truly romantic side. Lee’s such a romantic character and he has these dreams. It’s all about looking for love, isn’t it? It’s him looking for love and his ideal of love and romance, well, it’s way above and beyond reality. I don’t know how you ever find that."
