I've always loved animation it's the reason why I do what I do for a living - the films of Walt Disney. This art form is so spectacular and beautiful. And I never quite understood the feeling amongst animation studios that audiences today only wanted to see computer animation. It's never about the medium that a film is made in, it's about the story. It's about how good the movie is.

I always loved the idea of a spy movie and part of it came from my personal love of spy movies. It started when I was growing up as a little kid in the 60s.

It’s so important to create in your own voice, to hold onto what makes you unique, and have faith in your vision.

Quality is the best business plan.

I think that the entertainment industry and the entertainment press tends to focus on opening weekend box office as a measure of the success of a film and I think the true success is out there in people's homes and how much they absolutely love these characters.

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

To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.
