I have a tendency to hire people who tend to be unattractive to the studios. Maybe this is a bad idea.

Yeah, once we decided to use that replacement animation, and the seams are a function of that animation, and other movies paint those out, we decided we wanted to keep the presence of the animation and the type of animation that it was rather than make it look polished. It created a kind of vulnerability, I think.

I wanted to deal with someone's idea of their relationship.

Everything I've written is personal - it's the only way I know how to write.

I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.

I will be dying and so will you, and so will everyone here. That's what I want to explore. We're all hurtling towards death, yet here we are for the moment, alive. Each of us knowing we're going to die, each of us secretly believing we won't.

There's no way to approach anything in an objective way. We're completely subjective; our view of the world is completely controlled by who we are as human beings, as men or women, by our age, our history, our profession, by the state of the world.
