Courses Quote by Edgar Wright
“Just concentrate on the performers. Make sure you get the performers, and that's it. That's all we need to do." And I was thinking, "Well what if you do both?

I think that's kind of what I tried to develop as a style, and Spaced was the first TV show I did where all the elements came together.”
