"You never say never, but I don't think I'd want to do a long-running series."
"Comic-strip stuff isn't really my cup of tea, really."
"The reality is that we have all these awards and all these festivals that give out awards, so you sort of go, 'okay, well, people liked the film, and I think it's a good film, and it's up for an award - well, I guess it should win the award then.'"
