A gem of a short film has a sense of pure joy in animation that is different from anything you see in a feature film.

I'm the biggest fan of animation. I love the history of animation, I know it well.

One of the fun things about play is making up stories.

I love movies that make me cry, because they're tapping into a real emotion in me, and I always think afterwards "How did they do that?"

I think the painted backgrounds in animations are absolutely stunningly beautiful. There's something really special about this medium. I don't believe audiences have grown past it. I think what audiences love is to be entertained-thoroughly, deeply entertained, and that's what I've always set out to do.

A good part of my leadership skills is crafted from learning from experiences early in my career that were not positive experiences.

The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.
