The only purpose of the visuals, in any film, is to serve the story.

Most people's personalities and roles are locked by the time they're nine or 10. I think there's something to that.

When you get questions that annoy you the art is answering them differently. If you're bored with it, then everyone will be bored with it.

I have friends and illustrators who can't stand drawing on the Cintiq. [A graphic pad tablet used by digital animators] There's a certain tension and friction when you draw on paper that they miss. The tablet is very slick. It's like drawing on glass. But that didn't bother me at all.

I'm still learning. I've never done a digital project before. And I'm pretty sure I did things to the software that weren't supposed to be done.

If you go to a film festival and watch a bunch of features and then watch a bunch of shorts, you will almost always find that the shorts are where people are taking more risks and pushing more boundaries...simply because they have much less to lose.

I think one of the reasons I love science fiction so much is that it's - when it's ideally done right, it's a reflection on ourselves.
