We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable.

With some CGI, I think the brain slightly perceives that things aren't real. There's no gravity, the light's not quite real, the shadows aren't quite real.

Get out and make films. There are so many cameras now to suit any budget, so there are no excuses.

I'm always there at home thinking of Wallace and Gromit ideas.

There is something about the Australian psyche that seems to like films that are slightly offbeat.

But I think people see 'Wallace and Gromit' as something akin to an elderly couple. These two know each other so well. Nothing can split them apart.

I always considered Ray Harryhausen's work so fine that it was way out of my league: in terms of realism and naturalism, in terms of animal movement.
