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 suppose directing on set is the most fun because it's a good crack and you feel you're on the battlefield whereas writing is a fairly solitary undertaking.

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.

I love fatherhood. I could bang on about kids forever.

As I get more and more involved in the child's world with Rocco his son I'm getting interested in making a film for children.

Other than the fact that I like a country house, I can't think of anything I'd want to spend my money on.

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