I find it ironic that fear is eliminating the possibility to tell stories that depict our ability to overcome fear

The curse is an incredible set of blue balls.

I think people imagine going back to a time when they knew who they were and they knew what the circumstances were - if you screwed up it was your fault.

I'd like to think that if you find your audience there are still opportunities there to go and tell an original story.

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.

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.

There is a sense that animated movies are suddenly a genre. I just don't believe they are; it's a technique to tell a story.
