There's really no reason film and digital can't happily co-exist and benefit from one another. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to sell you something.

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.

After working so long on something like this, it's great to go out and meet people and see the reactions and remind yourself that, oh, yeah,, I wasn't just working in a cave by myself for no reason...

Both the writing and the visuals in that sense are very exploratory. It goes back to my rule for myself [in] making it.

Usually the more money that something takes to make, the less interesting it's forced to become.

To be animating at the same time, it's the ultimate freedom in filmmaking because you can literally put anything on the screen that you can imagine.

I've never felt really creative or intuitive using software. I like paper and pens and paint. I need to angle real lights on my artwork and work with my hands and build props. Computers just take all that fun out of it [animation drawing].
