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

The way you think either stands in your way or assists you in achieving your goals.

Good writing is deceptive in that it hides its own artifice - it makes it seem easy.

The great thing about the animation process is that is goes from, I write the lines, it goes to the actors, the actors bring a whole world to that, they bring the characters to life, then it goes to the animators, then it goes to the editor who cuts it together, and then you screen it and it goes back through the system again.

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.

It drives me crazy when people say, "All we're trying to do is create entertainment." I feel like people go to movies for more than that.

The fluidity of thought is based on the flexibility of beliefs and the emotional boundaries surrounding them.
