exclusive “Someone will ask the basic question: ‘Do you want to sleep with your co-star?’” Sharon Stone on Hollywood’s MeToo culture

It’s St Patrick’s Day when I interview Sharon Stone, and this turns out to be a good thing, because her Irish identity (she’s from a family of immigrants from Galway, who settled in Pennsylvania) turns out to be, not just important from a ‘belonging’ point of view, but also a fascinating kind of psychological behavioural shorthand.

Niall Bourke: ‘I’m not afraid to just write, experiment, have a bit of fun’

Imagine a life spent waiting. It isn’t hard to do. As I write, I’m waiting on hold for the bank to answer the phone. I’m waiting for replies to various emails, for a response to an application I submitted. Then, of course, there is the elephant in the waiting room, lockdown. The world is waiting. For what? Normality? Freedom? We don’t know when this waiting will end. We don’t know what will be at the end of this waiting.
