And I was six years old.

And that did completely blow my mind.

So as a little kid, I saw Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and it was great.

But I saw Star Wars and went, I'd like to do that for a job.

So when you say do that for a job, was it like, be creatures, monsters, robots, like, so I, you know, I couldn't, again, it was my young brain was going,

How is all this happening?

How do they do all this?

Because I suppose the generation that came after me would be, oh, it's digital animation or they can do anything on a computer.

But with those movies, you were seeing it and everyone was touching.

He's in the room and he bumps into things and stuff.

So it was all real.

And I just couldn't figure out how is a man inside that?

How does that work?

You know, there's so many mysteries when I left the cinema that day and it just completely blew my mind.
