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.

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.

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

Watching a movie with an audience is so exciting. For me, coming from TV, you finish an episode and then it airs, and I'm at home. There's no gratification and there's no audience interaction with it.

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

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