Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.

One of the reasons I really love low budget filmmaking is you don't have to think about that as much. You can have more fun and be more playful and be freer creatively.

You're never the same. You're degrading, or you're getting better. You don't stay the same.

I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them anyway!

I wouldn't describe myself as a do-gooder. That's really more my wife. I'm kind of just the obsessed guy who's been writing and making movies since I was a little kid, just in a room and make it.

Sometimes people can write really great scenes and even a great episode, but they can't see the bigger picture.

I'm so from the Woody Allen/Spike Lee school.
