I don't have to go into outer space to write about an astronaut.

I love so many different genres. I love crime films - and unusual coming-of-age pieces.

I often think about the many remarkable things that my personal computer can do which I never ask it to do. I probably use a small fraction of its capabilities. I often wonder if the same dynamic occurs with our capacity for creativity.

My brothers were the ones who taught me about mythology and storytelling, and showed me how to do stop-motion animation.

I think there are many more stories still to be told about women.

You can be moved by an animated film and not by a live action film. There could be great inspiration in and humanity in that animated story.

I don't think there's enough breadth to the stories told about African-Americans.
