Joe Cornish

I did magic at children's parties when I was a kid.

And I used to buy 'Fangoria,' the horror magazine, which made my mum wonder if I was going to be a serial killer.

I went to Bournemouth Film School for 3 years.

A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.

Each culture has its own form of staged combat, evolved from its particular method of street fighting and cleaned up for presentation as a spectacle, e.g. savate, Cornish wrestling, karate, kung-fu.

I refuse to be held responsible for bringing back a wave of pasty-faced people into the world.
