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.

The curse is an incredible set of blue balls.

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

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

It's always good to keep people guessing.

I think when you get people who are really talented and you take them out of their comfort zone, you get a lot more out of them.

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.
