"After Lock, Stock, all these really nasty small town characters came knocking at my door trying to tell me stories, and somehow I ended up with this guy whose brother was feeding people to pigs, and that's what he did to get rid of people"

This quote by Guy Ritchie is a reflection on the success of his 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The quote suggests that the success of the film attracted a lot of attention from people with stories of their own. These people were likely from towns and had stories of crime and violence. Ritchie wound up with a story from one of these individuals about a bro who fed people to pigs in order to get rid of them. This story likely inspired Ritchie to develop his next film, Snatch, which was released in 2000. The quote is a testimony to the power of storytelling and how it can influence creativity. It likewise speaks with the dark side of towns and the violence that can happen in them. Ritchie's quote is a pointer that stories can be found in the most unforeseen locations which creativity can be stimulated by the most not likely of sources.
