It's Part Of My Job To Maintain

I Don't Thrive On Control. I'm Not Looking For Control. I Think I Get Better Results When I Don't Control Things.

I Like The Days When All The Filmmakers Had Was A Film Roll, A Camera And A Gangster. The Mack Sennett Comedies Were All Like That. They'd Create Little Teams To Go Out And Shoot Films.

It's Very Hard To Say I'm Surrealist. It's Like Saying I'm Poetic. It's Not Something You Want Necessarily To Be Aware Of.

I've Always Liked The Idea Of Inventing Stuff. My Father Told Me, Because I Was Naïve, I Would Think Things Could Work And Therefore Do Them, Because I Would Have No Doubt Even Though There Was No Solid Foundation For This Confidence. I Don't Think I Would Be A Real Inventor. But When I Set Out To Do Animation, Which Was My First Step Into Film-making, I Realised I Could Achieve This Idea. I Could Take Some Elements, Create A Sort Of Clumsy Invention, And Make Them Work For The Camera.

I Think Some People Feel That If You Are Going To Have 3d, Then You Have To Shoot In 3d, But They Shoot 3d, So Of Course They're Going To Say 'my Way Of Doing A Film Is Better.' I'm Not Telling Anyone How They Should Do Their Film, So Why Should Anyone Tell Me How I Should Do Mine?
