Digital is expensive, from the computers to the professional software to the technicians, but digital helps me to create more beautiful images in less time.

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.

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.

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

Before my commercial success, I had difficulty doing what I wanted, but my sincere short films always won prizes in festivals. So I was ready for larger successes.

No matter what the level of funding or success may be, there's always money missing, and you still want to have a gorgeous image, an endless cast and a flawless rendering.

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