With animation, if something does not fit, you always have the time to change it. When you make a live-action movie, when your days of shooting are over, they are over forever.

I like to make mechanical stuff. Once I make a film I have to do whatever I can make onstage I make it onstage.

'The Jungle Book.' It's one of the best animated films ever. I saw it when I was small at a cinema in Tehran.

Drawing - it's the first language of human beings, before writing, before even talking, before words, human beings was drawing.

The first writing of the human being was drawing, not writing.

I respect humanity. That's my religion. I can't stand these religions that are really businesses. So much money everywhere that's going to buy a really nice house in heaven - or what? I don't get it.
