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'm at peace with myself. My film just may please audiences. At any rate, it's already a great prize to be part of just 16 films among all of the world cinema out there. I'm tranquil and satisfied.

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

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.

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

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

I never seem to be able to sell my films correctly in the U.S. The U.S. defends itself on its own turf.
