Fairy tales have a hidden power, and their appeal never ends. They're the best way to get messages across.

I've always felt that I've made films, period. I wanted to leave the "ghetto." And here I am, I'm out.

I've never made films for children. That's why children like my films. Nobody wants to be treated as a baby.

If I need something, I just draw it, have a few friends make it move, and it exists. I enjoy this strange power. I try to be a good sorcerer, though.

I never seem to be able to sell my films correctly in the U.S. The U.S. defends itself on its own turf.

The film industry needs to find a way to bring audiences to movie theaters. It's more of a technical trick than a revolution.

One gets used to success very quickly. The surprise was how deep and enduringly I was touching people, in such different places and throughout generations.
