- All I ever do is talk about films and then not make them. As a result I thought: just shut up about it - make a film then talk about it when it's done. But it's got to be something that I'm absolutely frothing about. After three or four years tinkering with other people's material I came to the conclusion that I just had to develop my own material from scratch.
- I love anatomy. I love the human form, I always have. That's why I got into painting and sculpting, that's why I got into doing prosthetics, that's why I got into making films about bodies. But the one thing that I hadn't been able to incorporate was sound. And that was my favorite love of all. And as soon as I started doing that in film, that was it for me.
- We did versions of it in six different languages, to go round the world. The German version was fucking hilarious, just really brutal. Everything sounded so aggressive and rude. The girl sounded like she was going to get out of the chair and stab you after she'd finished her monologue. [talking about his ad for Playstation, Mental Wealth]
- It's funny how, especially in the last ten years, you hear people whining on about, 'Oh, not having to shoot on film is a bad thing.' But every time you think something is not going to be the same without that particular thing, like say the film stock or the lens you like, it's only a matter of time before there's a plug-in that can emulate it. It's fucking amazing. Whatever technique a puritanical filmmaker uses there will be plug-in that a fucking kid can use! I say good riddance to film because it's just a fucking pain in the arse. Just when things are getting good you have to reload the camera and carry these things which weigh the same as a box of fucking house bricks around a set. It's a nightmare.
