I don't care about writing really.

I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.

Basically the movies I make are my life, so I choose how I want to live my life for the next two years. So that's a decision I have to make. At some point if I feel there are enough elements - it doesn't even have to have great characters or great stories - it's just elements that can get my excitement and curiosity for one or two years, then I'll jump in and I'll find out what that is. Then I have to do [interviews like this] and rationalize why I do this.

3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies; for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning.

Beautifully-acted and precisely observed, ILO ILO is an amazing debut, full of heart and intelligence.

I guess in Hollywood you chart your life by Oscars. You say to each other, "Remember when that movie won that year? It was 2006. Remember that?"

If you try to act, you're going to look like you're acting. So don't act.
