We split all the bills 50-50. So what? That's perfectly normal, isn't it?
I anticipated they would be harsh but I don't hold it against them.
So It's really about characters and sub cultures again. About gypsies and things that I couldn't squeeze in the last one, I stuck in on this one.
So it's based on the formula that you can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent. Who is the ultimate opponent? Yourself.
She's passionate about riding and knows that he is the man who can help her master the craft.
She has an idea and she can make it happen.
On Lock, Stock, we didn't know where the money for shooting the next day was coming from.
We would be grateful if the media would kindly allow us some privacy at this special time, ... We thank you all for your good wishes.
Yeah, I'm certainly a lot more confident on this one than I was one the last one, which I think can be a good thing and a bad thing. But, at least I slept while making this film.
Well, what I try to do is throw as much mud on the wall as I possibly can and just see what sticks, what shines as quirky or more interesting that the others, and I try to cling onto that one, somehow join a link from there to there.
We're quite volatile as individuals, but that doesn't work exponentially when we are together. Relationships are about eating humble pie.
All the other guys I think had a scream on Lock, Stock. They just had a laugh and a crack, and thought it would never come out; they were just having a good time. On this one, I felt that.
It's about not letting the internal enemy, the real enemy, have his way because the more he does the stronger he becomes. The film's about the devastating results that can manifest from the internal enemy being unbridled and allowed to unleash chaos.
We always have a take that's 'one for fun', so once you've got what you need, you can do what you like. Something does occasionally pop out of that tree. I'm always open to ideas.
