I think CGI is interesting but it's too expensive and limiting in terms of what you can do shot-by-shot.

There's no way you can shoot low-budget stuff on lots of locations. It's just a practicality thing because every time you move, it costs time and money.

It's part of developing the whole state of how cinema is; everyone is looking out and engaged rather than it being just a financial thing or sitting back, waiting for scripts to turn up.

The only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.

Doctor Who is pretty dark, I think. Generally its dark; its always been dark.

I genuinely try to make movies I'd want to go and see, movies that are a bit more challenging.

We are not killing, we are saving.......a billion dreams.

He who makes fun of a short and fat man’s weight is much less cruel than he who makes fun of his height.

Work as hard as you can to become as good an individual player as you can to help your team win

Kissed mouth don’t lose its fortune, on the contrary it renews itself just as the moon does.

Why is it that any time government takes over something for a few years, its assumed that people are too incompetent to do it for themselves?

Some of my other stories are talked about as fantasy, some as horror, and some aren't talked about as genre at all. And the same story will be labeled differently depending on country.
