I like horror movies, and in fact I like them even more now after making one. I just think they're much more liberating because you don't really have to apply a very strict logic.

Animated films are so precisely engineered - right down to forming lines of dialogue with words pulled from several different takes - how do you translate that spontaneity from the live-action to the digital realm?

I think my parents gave me a love of learning; from there you set out on your own path.

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.

Nothing's occurring in animation - you manufacture everything.

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

I just think it's growth when you pursue something you're not sure you can do.
