In live-action, writing, production and editing happen in discrete stages. In animation, they overlap - happening simultaneously. This allows a real dialogue to occur between the writer, the director, the actors and the editor, and it makes the writing process a lot more collaborative and a lot less lonely.

I had read enough mediocre scripts and was determined not to inflict another one on the world.

The best writing really does come from the deepest, most private part of you.

A good story is a good story, whatever the medium.

Failure can only exist from stagnant perceptions. Everything is a process of learning and if you learn something useful, you have success.

My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.

You never want your second act or the whole movie to just be this relentless march towards its goal. You want things to take the audience by surprise.
