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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
