I think the inner and outer aspects of the self together make one person.

I really am grateful to have so many people watch, and to be given the chance to create my next projects. I want to once again tackle the boundless possibilities of animated movies, and I hope to be able to create something that will leave both children and adults thinking that this world is a sparkling, brightly shining place.

People who are open about their own faults, especially, often want to ferret out "inner feelings" beneath the surface and expose any falsehood, and they think that it's in their inner feelings that the truth lies. But I don't think that's the truth.

Usually, people tend to see someone on the surface and think that that's who that person is.

I was deliberately trying to express how possible it might be for unmarried men and adults not blessed with biological children to become "fathers of choice." In an old-fashioned, traditional world, this might not matter. But I think that it's probably going to become terribly relevant as time goes on.

People have two sides, and a person first becomes appealing when you discover both of those sides - and worlds work exactly the same way.

I think of movies as depicting moments of change. Change is growth, and that change also possesses the same dynamism that movies do.
