My inspiration is my life, what I see happening around me. It can be history and, quite often, plain traditional fairy tales. But I never adapt; I nourish myself with old stories, and then create my own tales.

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

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 lost so much energy in taxis, planes, hotels, phone calls and interpreters. Now, with the help from my little successes, I do everything in the same place with everyone around me. That's how a good job gets done.

Fairy tales are my natural language. I feel at ease telling fairy tales like a fish feels in water. I am totally free.

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

People all over the world feed upon U.S. cinema and don't know about their own.
