It's always good to keep people guessing.

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.

My respect for animators and animation directors has gone way, way up and it is just not something you can phone in.

For me, some of the happiest moments on a live-action film are the awkward moments. One actor says something to another actor. They didn't expect that performance from that actor; that affects their return performance.

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

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.
