My Goal Was To Show That Even

I Like Collaboration, I Like To Incorporate Other People's Ideas [and] That's What Happens When You Do A Big Movie. Unless You're Called Stanley Kubrick And You Do An Independent Movie For Like $200 Million.

I've Always Liked The Idea Of Inventing Stuff. My Father Told Me, Because I Was Naïve, I Would Think Things Could Work And Therefore Do Them, Because I Would Have No Doubt Even Though There Was No Solid Foundation For This Confidence. I Don't Think I Would Be A Real Inventor. But When I Set Out To Do Animation, Which Was My First Step Into Film-making, I Realised I Could Achieve This Idea. I Could Take Some Elements, Create A Sort Of Clumsy Invention, And Make Them Work For The Camera.

I Kind Of Like The Idea Of Taking A Concept And Going All The Way With It, Even If It's Not Completely Plausible. It's Something That I Like About Making Movies. You Have A Concept That Maybe Would Not Work In Real Life, But You Can Make It Work In The World You're Creating.

When I Saw The Matrix And Other Movies Of This Type, I Wished I Had Been Given The Opportunity To Express Myself With All This Technology And Do Something Sort Of Big In Scale, But The Right Material Never Really Came My Way.

I Don't Like To Put People In A Competition To Defeat The Other.
