I think you can never ever lie, ever. If you don't know, say, 'I don't know'.

All the traditional westerns are about choice and the individual. When progress comes it's much more difficult to define the individual in that world.

It's always good to keep people guessing.

Drama is drama, and it's really... if it's something small, you put a magnifying glass up to it; if it's something big, you use a wide lens.

For me, some of the happiest moments on a live-action film are the awkward moments. One actor says something to another actor. They didn't expect that performance from that actor; that affects their return performance.

There's so much work in making movies, it's so easy to tear one down. When I watch a movie, even one that I don't particularly enjoy, I'm constantly impressed at the work that's in it. I respect the craftsmen and women. I tolerate a lot of movies that maybe other people don't, just because I know what goes into them.

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