I always wanted to do an animated movie. I find it to be incredibly liberating as a way of telling a story.

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.

It's always good to keep people guessing.

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.

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

Animation is a technique, not a genre.

Nothing's occurring in animation - you manufacture everything.
