The Roundhouse was a complete shell. It was absolutely empty, lying derelict for years.

I particularly love watching 'Hardware' with a young audience.

'Dust Devil,' I've never really seen with an American audience, so I'm looking forward to that experience.

I was so in debt by the end of 'Dust Devil,' having picked up the tab personally for the post-production of the movie, and having no way to recoup because I didn't own the rights to the movie. There was no way I could see any money back on it, so any money spent was just a dead loss.

South Africa had very poor repertory distribution. I didn't find out about Akira Kurosawa and Tarkovsky and Werner Herzog until I got to the U.K.

Britain has had a very honourable tradition of literary sci-fi - H. G. Wells, John Wyndham, J. G. Ballard, Brian Aldiss, Michael Moorcock - but for whatever reason, they have never really been given the time of day on screen.

From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be Carl Denham.

Having spent all that time getting away from South Africa, running away from the army, I wanted very much to believe that America and England were actually as free as they were meant to be, not slipping rapidly into becoming police states like the one I'd just left.

You've got all these people making action movies, and they've never been in a life-or-death situation.

'Hardware' came about because I had written quite a few scripts and hadn't had any luck getting them made.
