How does one marry that with the natural, temporary nature of the work because of its creativity and the moving on to different films? Is it through a holding company to which Ms Walker referred? How does one go about creating that security of tenure when, by its very nature, it moves all the time and it changes all the time like an actress in the theatre? We do not have any permanent actresses in permanent national theatres since they stopped doing that in the Abbey. How does one marry that? What does one do?
