I'd never make a film that I am not passionate about. My whole life, I've only made the films I wanted to make, even when I had limited means.

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

The quality and success of Disney was actually bad for us animators because everyone on the planet thought that animation was only for kids and only in a certain domain. The big film festivals never thought much about animated films.

I like to make people happy, and with fairy tales, I can say anything I want to, but in an agreeable way.

I do my films the best as I can, period. I always hope that, gradually, my honest work will reach Americans.

I won't tell you how many hours a day I work because you wouldn't believe it. But don't worry; I am in bed at 11 p.m., sleep well and get up early, without an alarm clock.

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.
