Sometimes, you just have to go in there and bowl people over with your sheer force of will.

Tigress is my alternate personality, especially with children. I love animation because you get to do things you don't normally get to.

When people feel safe, they can come up with ideas. It's important to listen to the actor who is there on the stage and living it.

Talking to actors is the same as talking to any other artists; it's getting into the moment for them, and making sure they can lose themselves in the performance!

It's like being the general of an army [directing a film]. You send people out to die.

As I said, i'm very quiet, i don't go around saying "I'm awesome!" but when I brought in my portfolio into DreamWorks and showed them what I could do, my art style is a lot wilder than I am.

We have those new environments [during Kung Fu Panda 3] that give a scale to the movie, that are the spirit realm and the panda village. The spirit realm, having no gravity, having this massive space, allowed us to do huge action shots. All that we just couldn't do before. We just couldn't get the scale, we'd have to cheat them. This time we found ourselves more free.
