A strong theme is always running through a well-told story.

There's always one sequence in every animated film that's the bane of every animator's existence.

There's a lot of downsides to social media, but one of the nice things is that you can cut through all the BS and go straight to the person and ask them directly. I think that's a wonderful thing. I love talking to people who are true fans or who have a true love of cinema, and so if I can talk to them directly, great.

A major threshold is passed when you mature enough to acknowledge what drives you, and to take the wheel and steer it.

If you don't think a film looks good then that is just a reflection of how bad the artist was that was using the paint that is really good.

That's what great art does - it inspires other artists to do great art, and that's what it should do.

If you want someone’s attention, whisper.
