I've never made films for children. That's why children like my films. Nobody wants to be treated as a baby.

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.

One gets used to success very quickly. The surprise was how deep and enduringly I was touching people, in such different places and throughout generations.

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 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.

I'm never really nervous because I've done the maximum; now it's up to the audience to do its job.

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.
