People Always Say There Is

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.

Every Movie I Do Is Challenging For Me. There Is Some Element Of Imaginative That You Wouldn't Have In A Typical Movie.

I Don't Call Cut Between The Takes - It's My Way To Help The Actor Keep Focused. As Soon As You Say 'cut' You Have 10 People Jumping On Them And Everybody's Trying To Do A Great Job, And They Do, But Sometimes They Forget That The More Important Thing Is The Performance, Creating The Performance.

If You Take A Child From South Africa And You Put Them In Boston, They're Going To Speak With A Boston Accent. And So, That's A Way To See The World As Everybody Is Equal, Not As A Result Of Politics, But As Human Beings.

I'm Not Against The Technology At All, I Just Don't Like To Use It If It's Just To Mimic What You Can Do With Traditional Methods.
