I think that an artist is a bit like a computer. He receives information from the world around him and from his past and from his own experiences. And it all goes into the brain.

And having suffered for part of the war when I was a child. I was too young to really understand what was going on but one of my favorite pieces of animation now is that Goodbye Blue Sky in The Wall because that deals directly with that period in time.

How do I feel about war? Well anybody I guess, I hope, I don't like it.

Where as in animation you have to kind of do a series of drawings in between to complete the movement.

Well I was an asthmatic child. So that for most of my childhood I was in bed. Bedridden.

So war is an extremely sad business, because the majority of people don't want to be in it.
