The quality and success of Disney was actually bad for us animators because everyone on the planet thought that animation was only for kids and only in a certain domain. The big film festivals never thought much about animated films.

I'm a sorcerer because I start with nothing, and then, eventually, there is something. And I touch you, I move you, I make you laugh or cry, and you believe in what's happening on the screen, although I always show it's invented.

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.

The film industry needs to find a way to bring audiences to movie theaters. It's more of a technical trick than a revolution.

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.

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