I'm not jaded. I never have been jaded. I've always been surprised at my success. I've always enjoyed it.

We're animals. We're violent. We're criminal. We're not so far away from the gorillas and the apes, those beautiful creatures.

I've always loved pigs: the shape of them, the look of them, and the fact that they are so intelligent.

'Hansel and Gretel' is one of the scariest stories ever written! Psychotic mother; stupid, inane father.

I want to be free again. I want to be free like when I was a kid, working with my brother and making toy airplanes and a whole model of the World's Fair in 1939 out of wax.

One of the beauties of being an artist is that you can create a whole new world, with circumstances that are better in your invented world than they are in the real world.
