In fact, 95% of the people in my films have been nothing less than a pleasure to work with.

I'd like to work with the missus, but there's nothing in the pipeline at the moment.

I got too fed up with films that didn't make you think. I liked the idea of one that you'd have to be dancing around with. I like my mind to be engaged when I watch a film.

What I liked about American movies when I was a kid was that they're sort of larger than life and I think I'm still suffering from that reaction.

After Lock, Stock, all these really nasty small town characters came knocking at my door trying to tell me stories, and somehow I ended up with this guy whose brother was feeding people to pigs, and that's what he did to get rid of people.

I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of.
