I'm single again and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm loving it at the moment. This is what I've been missing.

I'm not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.

I like filming in the UK - I'll sleep in my own bed, which I'm really happy about.

We are not that flash, me or the missus. In fact, we are quite low-maintenance.

My approach to violence is that if it's pertinent, if that's the kind of movie you're making, then it has a purposeI think there's a natural system in your own head about how much violence the scene warrants. It's not an intellectual process, it's an instinctive process. I like to think it's not violence for the sake of violence and in this particular film, it's actually violence for the annihilation of violence.

Jake Green isn't just Jake Green. Jake represents all of us. The colour green is the central column of the spectrum and the name Jake has all sorts of numerical values. All things come back to him within the film's world of cons and games.

I like to think that we've got a plan, so let's stick to it. That said, once we've stuck to it, we're allowed as much improvisation as anyone cares to indulge themselves in.
