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

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

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.

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

My producers give me total freedom. No one asks me for anything; they just tell me to make a good film, and that's what I do.

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.

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.
