“UNeil uyamthanda kwaye nam ndiyamthanda. UNeil wenza enye imovie kuqala. Ke ndicinga ukuba yonke into ihamba ngokwesicwangciso siya kuyenza imovie yesibini kwisithuba seminyaka emibini. Elo bali linokuthatha iindlela ezahlukeneyo kakhulu. Kukho indalo iphela. Ndiqinisekile ababhali abaninzi bayayithetha loo nto, kodwa sinendalo enkulu. Konke oku kwaqala ukudubula ngo-2005 kwaye phambi kokudubula imuvi sasidubula u-'Alive eJoburg 'kunye nezinye ezimfutshane njengenxalenye yenkqubo yoyilo kaNeil. Iimuvi ezimbini ezilandelayo zazinomlinganiswa wam, iWikus, nangona kungekho namnye kubo owayenegama elinjalo. La macandelo mabini ayeyinxalenye yokuvela kwelo bali kwaye lalisiya phi kwaye konke oko. Kukho iindlela ezizigidi onokujonga kuzo. U-Neil okwangoku unomdla kakhulu kwii-prequels, kwaye uphawule ngale nto izihlandlo ezininzi. Akufuneki senze umndilili weHollywood apho sinabaphambukeli abali-100 kuphela abalwa nabantu. "
