“I grew up loving action movies and films that were set in supernatural, unimaginable places.

“I don't think RADA wanted me, actually. When I was at Oxford I had a boyfriend at Central [School of Speech and Drama] and it looked like the most fantastic life, but I think not going makes you more free.

“Anybody that makes films knows the film is never finished. It's abandoned or it's ripped out of your hands, and it's thrown into the marketplace, never finished.

“I don't think so much about verbal comedy. I always think about visual comedy. I was raised watching silents, and I'm always thinking about how to make cinema, not good talking - although I want good talking. I'm much more interested in framing, composition, and orchestration of bodies in space, and so forth. My goal is always what Chuck Jones wanted his Warner Brothers cartoons to be, which was if you turn down the sound, you could still tell what's going on. I think if you watch most of my films with the sound off, you could still tell what's going on.” IfsThinkingWantStillsBodyWantedFilmTurnsSoundGoalSpaceTalkingWatchesComedyBrotherRaisedCinemaVisualsCompositionCartoonChuckAlways ThinkingFramingOrchestrationWarner Brothers Author:Alexander Payne
