MPC, Moving Picture Company, they're really excellent, they did the majority of the effects.

That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.

And anyway, it's only movies. to stop me I think they'll ahve to shoot me in the head.

Some people like to do everything always the same thing. That's another way: To do the same thing.

Everyone sniggered because I was going to do a sandal and toga movie. But I knew exactly how to do it and I know how to make Robin Hood.

I went to Art College and during the summer I made a movie with my brother. I got hold of a little camera, wrote a script and dragged my brother, Tony, out of bed to help me (which he did not like), so that we could shoot a film every day for six weeks. It was made for £65 and it was called Boy On A Bicycle.

I knew exactly what to do on Alien, it was funny.
