Peter Sallis - biography

“I don’t eat it, because of the cholesterol effect.  I’ve never eaten much in the way of cheese ever.  However, I don’t mind pretending that I like it.”

“It started with the plot.  What do you do on your day off?  Of course you go to the moon.  Why?  Because you’re out of cheese.”

“I think if Nick had something cracking, he would have said.  I suspect he’s taking a rest.”

“I thought, boy, this fellow is really taking his time, ...  He phoned me up one day and said, ‘Hello, it’s Nick Park.  Remember me?’ I said, ‘Yes, of course I do.’”

“They’re like a family of two.  They could be not quite brothers but could be father and son in a sort of way.  And there’s the charming fact that Gromit doesn’t speak, and Gromit, of course, is the brains of the family.”
