Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Edgar Wright: (On hanging out with Nick and Simon) We were on tour together for most of last year. I feel like we've all been in each others' pockets for most of the year! People think we all live in the same house like The Beatles!
-
Edgar Wright: (on a third series of Spaced) It's a fallacy that the show was cancelled because we had a chance to do the third one and we just didn't write it for various reasons. I can't speak for Simon and Jess but from my point of view I was just exhausted at the end of the second series. Both series were enormously all-consuming and at the end of the second one I was just done. I haven't done any TV since because it just wiped me out, completely.
-
Edgar Wright: The thing that we kind of do is we kind of make films that you just don't see in the U.K. – not to diss British cinema because there's lots of great British films – but we don't really make genre films anymore. So that what's fun for us is to kind of do things that people don't do. Obviously there's a great tradition of British horror films in the 50s, 60s and 70s, but there's actually no kind of cop films at all.
