My kids love anime, but I don't show them the really graphic stuff

I think it's the most extraordinary studio around. I would love to do my next project with Pixar.

Anything that makes movie-going a magnificent experience, I'm all for.

We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.

Animation is about creating the illusion of life. And you can't create it if you don't have one.

I think if you have a really big, heavy person, there's a feeling of an invisible puppeteer jerking them around in space. They don't feel like they are moving themselves.

To make something really great and different and interesting means taking risks and following these ideas in your head.
