I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control.

I don't intentionally make deep movies.

Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.

To be born means being compelled to choose an era, a place, a life. To exist here, now, means to lost the possibility of being countless other potential selves.. Yet once being born there is no turning back. And I think that's exactly why the fantasy worlds of cartoon movies so strongly represent our hopes and yearnings. They illustrate a world of lost possibilities for us.

Children understand intuitively that the world they have been born into is not a blessed world.

The principle I adhere to when directing, is that I make good use of everything my staff creates. Even if they make foregrounds that don't quite fit with my backgrounds, I never waste it and try to find the best use for it.

Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.
