It's always good to keep people guessing.

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.

Reading in a sound booth seems very strange. Everyone has a process they are comfortable with; this was uncomfortable for me.

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

Animation is a technique, not a genre.

I just don't know when we all decided that if it doesn't fit in a Happy Meal box, it's not for kids. I remember flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz, and I grew up watching Monty Python. I think that kids can handle a lot more than we give them credit for, especially when it comes to the absurd.

Nothing's occurring in animation - you manufacture everything.
