When I was growing up my mother would say, Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him. – Tom Hooper
I mean, weve all had those dreams where, you know, we try to cry out and our voice wont come. – Tom Hooper
I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost his father in that war. So, through my dad and the effect it had on him of losing his father young, I always felt connected to the war. It goes back years, but it still feels to me as if were completely living in it. – Tom Hooper
I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether its shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether its a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. Its truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day. – Tom Hooper
