Now, I just made an animated movie a few years ago, 'The Tale of Desperaux', and that had twelve hundred shots in it. Twelve hundred CG shots is a pretty big plan.

There are not many people on Team Gary. Actually, it's two people. My kids.

Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that.

As a writer and a director, I simply don't have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule.

You have to listen to the movie while you're making it. I think that's important.

Really, each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s, and for other generations it will be something else.

I think the CG is an instrument to create reality. I don't think it's an instrument to create a heightened reality.
