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.

Like my father, I would never as a child throw anything away, keeping old toys, electric motors and bits of broken machines under my bed in what I called my Box of Useful Things.

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

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

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.
