We always wanted to make a comedy that was a little bit more than that, which had tragic elements to it... that people engaged with - an intelligent comedy essentially.

So many films end up being filmed in London or in the same places over and over again.

Ironically, there isn't much comedy film in Britain, which is quite surprising seeing that we're quite good at it.

I think in most couples or partnerships, there's a constant struggle for power and dominance.

If you can make someone believe that you believe in the idea then I think that's worth a lot.

Growing up, I didn't feel very cool having come from the Midlands.

I think it's very easy to get discouraged early on.
