Animation is a technique, not a genre.

I want to diagnose the audience a bit and then offer a cure.

I just watched so many Westerns as a kid that you end up using archetypes and sort of tropes of that genre, because there's a language there and you can twist it and turn it on its head or play to it or go sideways at any time.

Everyone always wants to find the answer, to feel that things are resolved. But in dreams, maybe there isn't an answer so much.

My respect for animators and animation directors has gone way, way up and it is just not something you can phone in.

I'd love to do a PG-13 animated adventure. It would be great.

Reading in a sound booth seems very strange. Everyone has a process they are comfortable with; this was uncomfortable for me.
