Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second.

I don't think I make genre films. I think studios try to sell films as genres because they know how to do that. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't know what I make. It's sort of a pot roast, all my films.

When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world.

I only want to work with actors that really get it and make it work. I didn't want it to be a star-driven thing anymore.

I'd like to do a lot of different stuff. I think it's important as a creative person to keep challenging yourself and keep doing new stuff. If you end up trying to repeat yourself it's death. It just becomes boring and takes the passion out of it. You gotta find stories and characters that you really want to hang out with.

People have been screaming about the end of times forever, it's always the end of times. But there's just so much evidence that the world is changing so radically right now. How much can the world take?

I've spent a life loving women and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to.
