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

With the assumption that animation is a medium for children, I want to make movies that reaffirm the future, and let them know that this world is a world worth living in.

The process of producing a project is one long string of delight and anxiety, but I think the real thrill of animation would have to be drawing the pictures.

I want to take themes that are shared throughout the world, express them through animation, and make movies from them.

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.

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