People spend the money where the money is. Nightmare never goes away.

'Coraline' is Neil Gaiman's book, it sold a lot, it has a big fan base. It was originally conceived to be live action, but I never really wanted it to be. I always thought that it would work better as an animated film.

I get rewarded virtually every day with something amazing to see - whether it's a new shot, a miniature sweater, someone who's figured out how to make the hair look really great. We found a way to do the rain, finally. And mud. Make the trees. So I get to stay in constant motion as a director, you know, reviewing things. And there's a lot to review.

There's always kids who become stop motion animators. I get stuff all the time. They put it on YouTube. It's exciting to see.

I'm supporting an up-and-coming director. It's the time in my life that I want to share what I know and pass it along.

People are very harsh critics of animated humans.

We are suffering from a glut of too many 3-D movies and not enough screens.
