I suppose I just like being arty. That's all. Arty.

If you actually have to engage with somebody who's superior to you and actually battle with them, struggle with them, I think it's more interesting, and funnier for the audience.

Keep going and don't give up. You're doing wonderfully. You'll know how to fly this thing eventually.

I was just interested in directing. So I just kept having a go at trying to write little scripts and get things together, and my wife just had a slip of the tongue and said, "Franz Kafka's It's A Wonderful Life" when she meant to say "Frank Capra's." There it is right there. That's a gag that we could make into something.

There is no such thing as too much swearing. Swearing is just a piece of linguistic mechanics. The words in-between are the clever ones.

The older I get, the more I think lightness of touch is an incredibly difficult thing to do.

I love people where, at the end of the day, they'll pick up a paintbrush and paint clouds. They can physically make things.
