There's this thing of you can live in a city and be completely alone, not notice anything going on around you.

I just love listening to the laughter.

We work with every one of them to see if their character wouldn't say a certain thing or if something is worded awkwardly - we work with them to rectify that.

Your instinct, rather than precision stabbing, is more about just random bludgeoning.

You don't look at each other on the subway.

I think that the joke and the ghost story both have a similar set up in that you kind of set something up and pay it off with a laugh or a scare.

You look at shows like The Simpsons or Larry Sanders or Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld, they're really sophisticated shows that we all love back home.

I loved playing Shaun, he's not that different from me.

Chris Martin's a good friend of mine. I'm actually Apple's godfather. He's an old friend and we've been mates for quite a few years now.

Both me and Edgar are firm believers in never underestimating or talking down to an audience, and giving an audience something to do, to give them something which is entirely up to them to enter into the film and find these hidden things and whatever.

The main jokes in this film are about big things, love and life and zombies - we all get that.

We don't watch the film anymore because we've seen it so many times, so we'll introduce it, walk out and we'll come back in right about when I wake up in the morning and walk over to the shop and everything's changed.

There are actually quite high profile British TV star cameos in it that you probably wouldn't even notice, that the British wouldn't even notice, let alone the American audience.

American audiences tend to be more expressive than British ones.

That's what we wanted to get across in that moment, particularly when Shaun goes to the shop when he's all hung over. He doesn't notice any of the zombies around him just because he never had before, so why should he at that point?

I don't know about doing a sequel. I think you can retroactively damage a product by adding to it.

In England, we don't have any guns whatsoever.

There are a lot of visual marks that have to be hit, and lines that need to be said in a right way - so there wasn't really any improvisation on the set when it came to the bulk of the script.

The simple fact is that what you see on the screen is pretty much real.

Doctor Who was a big part of my childhood so it was a great honour to be in it.

There is a universality to comedy.

I mean, yeah, I'm sure that Python and the other things have paved the way for a greater understanding of the British sense of humor, but I don't think it's all that different than the American sense of humor.

Every person should have their escape route planned. I think everyone has an apocalypse fantasy, what would I do in the event of the end of the world, and we just basically - me and Nick - said what would we do, where would we head?

I think at its best the American sense of humor is the same as the British sense of humor at its best, which is to be wry and ironic and self deprecating.

I used to lie in bed in my flat and imagine what would happen if there was a zombie attack.

Also, if you watch the film once, there are lots of things that you won't get because there are punch lines in the first act, the setup to which isn't until the second act.

The only spoof I think is the title, which was just we thought of very early on and it kind of stuck.

You always worry about films when you hear about them making decisions after announcements are made.

We suddenly saw how people reacted in the event of massive social upheaval, and the way that the little problems in your life don't go away. You don't stop being frightened of spiders just because the world's blown up.

Theres this thing of you can live in a city and be completely alone not notice anything going on around you.

I think the jokes would have been a bit broader and a bit more obvious in terms of the day to day of country life.

Being a geek means you never have to play it cool about how much you like something.

Obviously you try to keep as much of your private life as private as you can.

The underbelly of the human psyche, what is often referred to as our dark side, is the origin of every act of self-sabotage. Birthed out of shame, fear, and denial, it misdirects our good intentions and drives us to unthinkable acts of self-destruction and not-so-unbelievable acts of self-sabotage.

I was always much more shy. All I knew was that I loved to act. But I don't know about the other part of it. I'm not sure I had the chutzpah to go and prove yourself.

It's better to do your purpose imperfectly than to do someone else's purpose perfectly.

It takes energy, mental toughness and spiritual reinforcement to successfully deal with life's opportunities, and to reach your objectives

Black people dominate sports in the United States. 20% of the population and 90% of the final four.

The environment is where we all meet where all have a mutual interest it is the one thing all of us share.

I was really excited by the idea that people were sharing information now and discovering information in a totally new way on the Internet via Twitter and Facebook, yet that experience was pretty clunk and just lots of bit.ly links.

Because of technology, we don't develop telepathy. We don't use telepathy, but use, you know, the mobile phones. Why?

I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all.

I'm very picky about the meat I eat. I eat grass-fed beef, which is now becoming more common. Yes, it's still more expensive, but it's a very sustainable product.

I think there will always be a double standard between males and females so I think that an actress is more likely to protect her public persona so to speak than an actor would be.

Music is about communication, and the chemistry between an audience and the orchestra is absolutely essential; the performance does not exist in a bubble.

If we allow our definition of what's possible to be based on how big someone else can dream, our dream will die.

I am a fantastic nurse. I discovered this about myself, and I'm really fantastic about diagnosing things.
