I think we all have a Wallace and Gromit inside us. Wallace is the part that has wild plans. Gromit is the sensible side, reining you in.

We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable.

Get out and make films. There are so many cameras now to suit any budget, so there are no excuses.

Americans like the British kind of quirkiness and the strange accent. They find it kind of cute or something, with a certain charm.

Gromit was the name of a cat. When I started modeling the cat I just didn't feel it was quite right, so I made it into a dog because he could have a bigger nose and bigger, longer legs.

After studying in Sheffield, I went down to London to do my post-graduate degree at the National Film and Television School, embarking on the movie that would eventually become 'A Grand Day Out.

I doubt I'll be singing forever, because at some point people aren't going to want to hear my music, and I hope that I'll still get the opportunity to write songs.

It's not set in stone. I like to keep it rolling and changing, and so I am like, "Great, I get to remake my song."

Comedy is a cruel mistress, especially if you're already seeing a really cruel mistress.

There are a lot of parallels between what we're doing and an expensive watch. It's very complex, has a lot of parts and it only has value when it's predictable and reliable.

Dinosaurs replace their teeth throughout their life. And T. rex replaced all of their teeth every year.
