Amezri's other journal space

Nick Frost: Yeah, it was; when the three of us do afilm, we all have a tremendous work ethic. And I have to explain to mygirlfriend, 'I am Edgar's now for four months.' And it's literally that-

Simon Pegg: You're mine forever.

Nick Frost: And I'm yours forever. But you're working from half five till 9 every day, six days a week for four months, three months; you just have to prepare that you're not going to see your cat for that.

Question: Is there any Angel in you?

Simon Pegg: In me? Not at all, I'm not anything like Angel. I'm more like Tim or Shaun, Angel's like a machine.

Question: You wrote the film across America? Where did you go?

Simon Pegg: We just went across the mid-west America, and the film will probably take on that journey.

Nick Frost: It was an eight day drive.

Question: How was it?

Simon Pegg: It was great, we picked up a very shiny RV here in LA, and we returned it seven days later f*cked up.

Nick Frost: Cause when you hit loads and loads of snow, it was knackered. I think the official diagnosis was that its brain had broken. The on-board computer had gone down. We drove across Nevada and Utah and Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado.

Question: What did you discover?

Nick Frost: That Nevada is big and empty.

Simon Pegg: America is very big.

Nick Frost: There were two days when we drove across Nevada where we actually felt fairly suicidal cause we hadn't seen - it's massive, and you don't see anything. You drive on one two-lane black top for 80 miles and you can see it stretching; you getto the end of it, and you see a little hump and you think, 'Ah, that's it, great. What's next?' And then there's another -

Question: What inspires you guys to write?

Simon Pegg: What does inspire us?

Nick Frost: He inspires me.

Simon Pegg: Awwww.

Nick Frost: But yeah, he does inspire me; I know it sounds a bit wanky.

Simon Pegg: We did have a kind of love story; obviously, Angel has his ex-girlfriend and she says,'Until you find someone you care about more than your job, you won't be able to switch off.' And then he does, but it's Danny. We did have a female actress.

Question: So it's gay subtext.

Simon Pegg: Oh yeah, totally. There was a character called Vicky, who we excised in the end because we realized the real romance was here. Not only did we lose the female character,but we gave Danny all her lines.
