We have to look forward and keep filming new films and not get stuck in the past.

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.

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.

I have to admit to not being the greatest technician, but stop motion animation gives me licence to create machines that wouldn't otherwise be possible - inventions that seem real and actually work.

I think we all have a Wallace and Gromit inside us. Wallace is the part that has wild plans. Gromit is the sensible side, reining you in.

Americans like the British kind of quirkiness and the strange accent. They find it kind of cute or something, with a certain charm.

My father, an architectural photographer, was an incurable tinkerer, maker and mender.
