Whenever you're doing two things at once, you're compromising them both.

I'm a true fan of animation, and it's my livelihood. Live-action is secondary to me.

Everything that I've ever done is not really based on reality, it's the caricature of reality, which is what's really exciting.

For me, animation is the caricature of life. It's something that we create, from the ground up.

The thing about any character is that you want to be sincere.

The computer is designed to mimic reality. And in an animated world, in my perspective, that's the worst thing to do. I want people to walk into a movie theater and be transported to a different world.

If you don't believe your general, you're not going to go into battle knowing you're going to die.
