I’m not a film buff. I don’t watch a lot of movies.

I quite like post-apocalyptic films, things like ‘Mad Max’ for instance, because they are so full on and there is something quite cleansing about the post-apocalyptic because you can see where we all think we’re...

Most films are written and made with a hero around 35, or even 25.

The high-grossing films are not all that interesting to me, I have to say. It’s not stuff I would want to be in. Yes, you would want the big paycheck, but that’s never really been...

Animated films are so precisely engineered – right down to forming lines of dialogue with words pulled from several different takes – how do you translate that spontaneity from the live-action to the digital realm?

Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn’t want to do.

I really enjoy working on small films.

I enjoy scenes in films, which do not have the pressure of the story so much… and it flows. I’ve tried to go in that direction.

Modern politics is like watching a film with only bad guys. It soon starts to get really boring, because one of the points of stories is that they should have some sort of redeeming character,...

My films, no one else will do.

I’m always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting.

I had the X rating on my films. Now they do as much on The Simpsons as I got an X rating for Fritz the Cat.
