“We always say to scriptwriters and directors that they should look at the original manuscript. There are five manuscripts for each book at least.” They are also taken into the little hut in the garden where Dahl wrote. “I think it’s very inspirational. How do you write an adaptation of anything without seeing the source? Tim Burton burst into tears. When I said to him, ‘Why do you want to make a film of James and the Giant Peach?’ he said, ‘It was the only book that gave me any hope as a child’.”
Liccy says: “It’s very important on both sides. For them to feel the original manuscripts and the way it was written and for us to feel them.” By “us” does she also mean Roald? “He’s still here.” Does she feel him in the house? “Yes, yes, yes,” she says quietly.

“The Last Movie was actually to be Hopper’s first. Inspiration hit him in Durango, Mexico, during the making of the John Wayne western The Sons of Katie Elder - ‘I thought, my God, what’s going to happen when the movie leaves and the natives are left living in these Western sets?’ Hopper hoped to make The Last Movie in 1966 but the project fell through when music producer Phil Spector withdrew financial support; his opportunity came in the wake of Easy Rider. Universal gave Hopper $850,000 and total autonomy (including final cut), so long as he stayed within budget.”

Q: What’s the most curious record in your collection?
A: In the seventies a record company in LA issued a record called “The best of Marcel Marceau.” It had forty minutes of silence followed by applause and it sold really well. I like to put it on for company. It really bothers me, though, when people talk through it.

“Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again; and then in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.”
