The competition is not really friendly or peaceful. It leads to oppression in some ways.

I've dreamed a lot, but i'm not a very good sleeper.

I think some people feel that if you are going to have 3D, then you have to shoot in 3D, but they shoot 3D, so of course they're going to say 'my way of doing a film is better.' I'm not telling anyone how they should do their film, so why should anyone tell me how I should do mine?

I don't like movies that are too manipulative. A lot of movies thrive on really pushing your buttons and making you hate the villain.

I want to see abstract art move. Especially in the '30s, you had animators doing innovative work, and I was entranced by that. It's basically what you see when you close your eyes, when you fall asleep.

I would define myself as being naive and perverse at the same time. And I think that if that is consistent it will make the tone consistent.

In my opinion, it's more interesting to see magic happening in a world that feels grounded. If the world is already crazy, then anything can happen. So it's better to start with something real.
