I missed the basic curiosity of being in the lab.

It always irritated me that people think they have to be locked into a career path.

The eventual goal is to marry all of my work together to make a high-speed, high-resolution, low-impact tool that can look deep inside biological systems.

You get so tied up with the minutiae of the day-to-day, there's never a chance to sit back and let your subconscious run wild.

I don't know if I can see myself writing another 'Saw' film. It's such a special part of my life, and I almost don't want to ruin it by going back.

Writers don't write writing, they write reading. When I was a kid, I read four or five books a week. And that is how I became a writer.

My mum was well-travelled, well-educated and made me understand from books, from my imagination and from just taking me away on holiday once a year, wherever she could, that the world was bigger than Peckham.

I want to be creative in as many different environments as possible, whether it's doing film scores, writing for TV ads or video games - all sorts of stuff, as long as it requires writing music.
