Edgar Wright

I'm very happy with the response for everything I've done, but, you know, sometimes you get things like, 'Oh, 'Spaced' Series One wasn't as good as 'Spaced' Series Two.' Or 'Shaun of the Dead' is not as good as 'Spaced,' or, 'Hot Fuzz' is not as good as 'Shaun.' Or, now, 'The World's End' is not 'Shaun of the Dead.' ”

Not everybody fantasizes about robbing a bank, but I think most people have that fantasy of being in a high speed chase. ”

Some actors don't even read the stage directions at all. ”

I remember when we did 'Shaun of the Dead,' and when we were trying to get it off the ground in 2001 before we actually made it, a lot of people just didn't want to know. ”

We were shooting 'Hot Fuzz' in my hometown of Wells, Somerset, and I remember looking at the dailies and going, 'Wait, there's a Starbucks in the shot. I don't remember that being there!' We had to digitally remove it; the same thing happened with a McDonald's in another scene. I had this sensation of, 'What's going on here? Where am I?' ”

It's a very rare and fortunate position to be able to make movies with two of your best friends who happen to be really amazing actors and writers. ”

I just remember watching 'Brass Eye' and being so utterly blown away by the scope of it and how much it managed to cram into an episode. ”

Sometimes, some things have to settle, and you have to think about the intention of it. ”

I think it's good to have pressure on yourself. The worst crime is to get kind of really complacent. ”

When I was younger, I used to love Tim Burton's 'Batman.' I was, like, 15, and even then, I was aware, 'This is really the Joker's film.' It's like, the Joker just takes over, and Batman, you really don't learn too much about him. ”
