I'm a sorcerer because I start with nothing, and then, eventually, there is something. And I touch you, I move you, I make you laugh or cry, and you believe in what's happening on the screen, although I always show it's invented.

I'm never really nervous because I've done the maximum; now it's up to the audience to do its job.

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.

France can compete with the Hollywood studios in terms of animation savoir-faire, but not in terms of box-office figures. France is a small country, and the Americans are the masters of the world - for cinema, it's true.

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

All of my films are based on personal experiences and beliefs. Many of my heroes are my spokespeople - and some are not!

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