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

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

I think that stereoscopic 3D will have to continue to develop. It's still quite archaic because of the glasses you have to wear.

Kids in different countries know my movies by heart because they've seen them so many times. And wonderful returns never stop.

I'm at peace with myself. My film just may please audiences. At any rate, it's already a great prize to be part of just 16 films among all of the world cinema out there. I'm tranquil and satisfied.

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.

For me, the stereoscopic imagery was a new game to play with. Surprisingly enough, it's also a return to tradition. I'm back with paper-looking puppets moving about in several layers of theatrical backgrounds.
