I had the idea in a pub in Bristol.
against directors
This is just ridiculous, to be up against some of the other directors here tonight.
detail dvd level miss
If you didn't put that level of detail in, you'd actually miss it, ... You'd know it was fudged. The film had to be made so that you try and think of something comical that you'll see on the DVD one day.
cautious family happens likes order quiet sides wallace wants wonder
I do see family resemblances, I think that happens automatically, ... But sometimes I wonder if they're two sides of myself, really. Gromit is the kind one who's quiet and likes order and is very cautious about everything, and Wallace is the one who just wants to get up and do things without thinking.
littles tiny world
We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable.
cute strange kind
Americans like the British kind of quirkiness and the strange accent. They find it kind of cute or something, with a certain charm.
dog cat names
Gromit was the name of a cat. When I started modeling the cat I just didn't feel it was quite right, so I made it into a dog because he could have a bigger nose and bigger, longer legs.
home thinking ideas
I'm always there at home thinking of Wallace and Gromit ideas.

If you respect the audience enough, they can take onboard many things.

We have to look forward and keep filming new films and not get stuck in the past.

My father, an architectural photographer, was an incurable tinkerer, maker and mender.
