I don't regret anything that I've turned down, and I don't regret anything that I've done, really.

There's a difference between watching a film and watching a bit of cinema and enjoying a film as a piece of cinema.

I fall in love with every film while I'm doing it. I fall in love with the directors, I fall in love with the process. I don't think I could do it otherwise.

I wanted to write rather than do anything else. But 'cause I left school at 15, I didn't know what a noun was, still don't.

It's nice to have someone write a couture character for you.

In 1994 while on weekend manoeuvres in France, I commandeered a Chieftain tank without permission of my immediate superiors. I then attempted to invade Paris. However, en route I stopped off at Disneyland, or Eurodisney as it was then called, and was subsequently apprehended on Space Mountain.

Even though I didn't write 'Shaun Of The Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz,' I never felt left out of the creative process.
