I live by the 80/20 rule: I'm 80 percent healthy, and then 20 percent indulgent.

I don't like to dabble in anything I don't do well. I don't talk politics.

I think now there's much more of a confessional culture. That's not my bag. I come from a slightly older school of thought: 'give 'em nothin.' You don't plead guilty.

If I bother about the expectations how will I make a film?

I don't do marriage. I think it's incredibly naff. And I don't like vulgar displays of ostentation.

I believe in finding a soul mate. I've always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. It'd be too awful. Monogamy can be hard work for some people. I don't think it...

I try not to delve too deep into policy.

I'm an atheist. I don't have a religion.

I never wanted to be aligned to a mature group because they go off and become politicians and stuff.

I've never really taken anything very seriously. I enjoy life because I enjoy making other people enjoy it.

What I do is a bit broader in scope than a heavy metal band like Iron Maiden, Motorhead, ACDC and so on.

'Trill' is a combination of 'true' and 'real.' It's my philosophy.

I do wear gloves for things that sting a lot or prick a lot. But I just like to feel with my hands. I find gloves cumbersome and uncomfortable and I've got tough old hands so the old cut doesn't...

I never felt interpretation was my job.

I didn't care about the Pride championship or the Pride tournament.

I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.

I'm not a great fan of the modern style of personal agonising, which crops up a bit too often for my liking.

If I could continue to work in comedy - whether it's TV, stand-up - I will be happy.

Even though some of the films I've made haven't been particularly commercial, I don't find them failures.

If I believe that I am right, I will take it to the end of the earth until I am proven right.

Grunge came from a group of English photographers, and they were documenting their own reality... I'm South American - we celebrate life.
