There is something about the Australian psyche that seems to like films that are slightly offbeat.

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.

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.

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.

Like my father, I would never as a child throw anything away, keeping old toys, electric motors and bits of broken machines under my bed in what I called my Box of Useful Things.

One gets ‘headaches’, because he gives headache to others.

Life becomes unbearable when, instead of living it, you stop to think about it.

Can anyone actually find a replacement for a lost loved one?Isn't there a difference between things and human beings?

What else goes wrong for a woman-except her marriage?

In art, progress lies not in an extension, but in a knowledge of limitations.

Canada doesn’t stand behind Israel; we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with it.

No one wants your worries...not even you. Anxiety comes at a high cost. Let Jesus lead you beside still waters.

Normally, the opposition gets more media space and even the people find it interesting to listen to voices against the government of the day.

Just finished 'Secrecy' - truly enthralling both as a love story and as a tale of suspense - but much more than both.

The best definition of an immortal is someone who hasn't died yet.
