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

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.

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.

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

Sometimes I dream that I'm working; that's awful. When you awaken after a big, surprising dream, you feel it's very interesting. When you sit and write it down, you realize it's a very poor script. But I may find ideas while dozing.

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